What’s your New Year’s Gaming Resolution? It it to finally play all your Steam games? 

(Good luck.) 

Or are you resolving to spend more time in the real world? 
In the age of digital distribution, it’s unbearably easy to have TOO MUCH entertainment at your fingertips, and I’m often too paralyzed by choice to make a decision as to how to spend my time.

Plus, add in all the recommendations from friends, especially those 80+ hour games and 100 episode shows that you simply MUST watch/play/read. Since this is something I struggle with, I won’t be so cruel: here are some games with the length of a long-ish movie that you can enjoy for the duration of a nice evening in!

Little Inferno is an odd, macabre little tale about burning things for fun.
You burn things, the game rewards you, and you get sucked down into the burning-things-for-fun lifestyle. To be fair, the game is kind of an eye-rolling metaphor for wasting time on casual free-to-play games and mindless consumerism, complete with with a countdown timer and a pay-to-play mechanic (with in-game money, of course. It’s a metaphor, not actually an EA game*). However, the charm of the game and the eerie story drawn you in enough to keep the ~message~ from being too patronizing.

It’s fun to find the “combos” of items to burn for big rewards, and I found myself looking forward to  the mysterious letters you get in the mail.
This game is a bit pricey, but reasonable compared to the cost of a movie ticket. I’d keep an eye on it and wait for a deep discount. That is, unless you’ve got some money to burn.
I prefer a Disco Inferno,
The Dungeon Dame

*Just kidding EA, please send me a copy of Dragon Age: Inquisition, TIA!
