Video Games You Can Beat in a Weekend
When you want to find a quick, fun play, these games are worth a try.
I love video games. Since I was a kid, when my parents got me an original NES, I have been a little video game nerd. However, I would not call myself a hardcore gamer. The biggest issue is just having the time.
When I was younger, I could easily spend most of my time trying to beat a game in the comfort of my room. In my high school and college years, if nothing happened during the weekend, I usually had my games to kill a Friday or Saturday evening. However, my free time became more limited when I got a full-time job. I also find myself with other things that I need or want to do. When I can sit down with a game, it may be an hour or two before I get to bed. Adulting can suck sometimes.
I still love a game I know I will invest a reasonable amount of time in. Usually, my breaks as a teacher are when I can invest in these longer games. In fact, with our week-long Fall Break beginning this week, I plan on diving into some of my 100+ game backlog on my PC.
So, if you’re like me and don’t have much time to game, you will love this list. There are quite a few games that you can complete in a single day or two. Perfect for you weekend gamers. Here are just a few of my personal favorites.
