Hello, I just finished the game I was playing (Book of Demons, would give it 7/10) and I'm looking what to play next.

I don't have as much time for gaming as I used to (job, children, etc.) so I usually have about an hour at the evening to play. Some games are tough to fit into this because it breaks immersion too much and everyday having to remember when I left just to quit soon after is just... tedious? Wrong? Idk and I don't want to spoil good games with it.

My friend gifted me Disco Elysium for christmas and it looks ver promising. But is it possible to squeeze it into this schedule? Or does it break the game too much? Thank you for your input.

I usually play it in short bursts, iirc you can save at any time.

Thank you for heads up. Will definitely give it a try.

It depends how long between sessions. The game is a lot like a book - you can read (play) for an hour at a time and put the book (game) down anytime then pickup where you left off. It might be a problem if you haven't played for a few weeks as you might forget where you are in the story.

I manage to play usually about 4 nights a week, so about day or two between sessions. This should be okay.

Reading all the comments, it looks like DE might be great pick for this interrupted play through. Glad to hear that, because everyone says it's a great game.

Even though I have games like Skyrim or Kingdom Come at my account, it's almost impossible to dig into those with this kind of gaming schedule. LA Noire was really great game for this.

I'm not adding anything new, but I wanted to agree with others saying playing in bursts is fine. I would suggest at least 1 hour, if not more. If you don't have an hour just wait till you do. I played it in burst, but there is so much to read that a shorter amount of time won't do it justice.

Definitely worth playing. Multiple times too. I played my first go one way and now I'm playing a completely different Tequila Sunrise.

To add to the other commentators, it also has a task list / journal which should help you remember things to do through sessions.

Nice, thank you. This should be very helpful in case I won't have time to play at all. Which is what sometimes happen, life is life, so you never know...
