What are you playing this weekend/these days?

How long is the game? Or how long can you play the trashy part without getting tired?

It's pretty short for an open world game, to 100% main game+DLC required 15 hours, and I took my time. Maybe the longest parts are the optional quests, but you get boosts from them.
The maps are full of references of movies if you enjoy looking at the details. I didn't like only some mission in DLC where you were forced to throw stuff with the tail, but later you'll get some power up to deal with that.

That's... short. On the other side, i can't imagine to eat fish in a game for 100 hours.

Also the Android Version only got the main game, and not the DLC, its short, but funny ..

The biggest time waster in my life is Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead

Tried it for the first Time on Pandora (thx @ptitSeb !) And now i can't even tell, how many tousand hours i trew in that thing! XD Don't play it, it's addictive like nothing else

I was intrigued and looked into the Pandora release, wow! Waaaaay back in 2012/2013 for the original Cataclysm, 2016 for this version. It's a roguelike which puts it into "ocassional distraction" territory for me.

I can't play it every now and then. If i put it on hold for a week, i just can't remember, what was going on. What was i doing? What was i searching for? Where were the npcs? It's easier to start a new game in such cases

Especially on Pandora the game teached me, what emergent narrative means. I played a really beaten down survivor with no gear, no skills. At one point i noticed a large group of zombies on the streets and took cover in a building nearby. Suddenly a zombie hulk breaks THROUGH THE WALL into my room!!! My character gets blasted away and hits the wall on the other side of the room. I'm getting up - somehow i survived. My limbs are broken, pain on the highest level, crtical bleeding everywhere. I take out my 9mm in last desperate action and fire at hulk. Well, that was the last deed of my survivor. That zombie hulk smashed me again and the zombie dogs ate my corpse after.

I know, it sounds not really exciting here on paper, but back then i lost my shit, as i saw it!

It pains me to admit I have given up on Orbitals. It's got gorgeous graphics that take me back. But the controls are klunk and the puzzles are lame. I got it to play with my daughter, it's a two player only game, and the nail in the coffin was inability to get to an auto-save point before dinner. I couldn't stand the thought of repeating the drudgery. I'm ok playing through kinda boring games by myself but not two player.
