I’m a separated dad with a demanding job and a fiancé. I only have the kids when I’m not working but I want to be fully available for them.

Recently, I’ve noticed that it would be difficult for me to play more than a story/ambiance game (next one is gonna be either Dead Space Remake or Aliens Dark Descent) and forever playable game (Gran Turismo 7 since its launch).

If I played more games with the time I have, I would forget the story or the controls. I haven’t tried but I’m pretty sure of it.

The problem with such a system is that I’m almost a aralyzed when I have to chose which story/ambiance game I’m gonna play.

So what’s your system and what are your time limitations?

I'm an independent games reviewer, so 1. But even before I did that, I still could only play 1 at a time.

What is your process like ? Do you keep notes as you play through ?

Yeah sorta. I write the review as I go. Whenever a thing jumps out at me or I have moments where I'm focusing on a specific thing frequently, I'll write about a paragraph about it and then move on. Sometimes a long one, sometimes a short one. Once I'm finished with the game, I go back through and edit and restructure and get rid of some things that ended up not being important or change some of my thoughts based on how the game develops. Sometimes, early on, something jumps out at me and I write something about it, and then later on that thing gets fixed and I just get rid of the whole paragraph.
