Still Rocket League. Can't shake it for some quick challenges in ~10 minute increments. I really wish I could either switch over to some SCUMMVM retro stuff, or a semi-casual fantasy adventure, but in ~10 minute doses.
I've considered Witcher 3, but it looks too time-intensive for a busy dad. I'm hoping for something that might need a few hours to get started, but then you can pick up & make actual progress in under 15 minutes.
Anyone have recommendations?
Ever considered rogue-lites?
etc.
I would actually say Witcher 3 is good for that. There's like 100 smaller quests you can do in 5-10 minutes each. Some of the main storyline quests (which are marked as such) might take 20 or 30 minutes when you're ready for them. It also has imo one of the best quest tracking systems I've seen, as well as best inventory system (sorting, yay) so you don't have to remember everything after time away from playing.
Dark Souls games can also be played that way - from one bonfire (checkpoint) to the next is usually around 5 to 10 minutes depending on how you play.
Maybe some CRPGs? Like Shadowrun Returns. Missions will be longer than 10 minutes but you can save it any time once it's your turn.
