I did pre-order the Harry Potter inspired game for Feburary. Got the deluxe edition for the PS5.

Oh crap. Octopath Traveler II needs to be pre-ordered. Oh dear.

Perhaps my ADHD is inescapable... I really can't find any game that I can
play even for a few hours... Most I only give a few minutes. I've tried Inside, but got bored with that quickly. I have yet to play Chained Echoes
for more than an hour, and that's a really fun rpg! I don't suffer from
brain rot, I've never been one for short form media. I just can't get into anything and it's extremely frustrating... Any ideas? I'd love to have a normal attention span, but I can't take ADHD medication due to contraindications with my schizophrenia meds... I can't win for losing...

Have you tried Crawl? That game is ADD in digital form. Very fun coop(if you can call it that) as well. Great on the Switch or PC

Others I can think would work well for you depending on the type of game you're after

- Risk of Rain 2
- Hell Divers 2
- Ixion (requires a lot of attention but juggling so many things it works)
- Meet your Maker
- Age of Darkness
- Conquerers Blade
- Planetbase
- Rogue Tower
- Ruiner
- Children of Marta


Also I wouldn't beat yourself up too much about moving on after a couple of hours. I get most of what I want out of a game after 2-4 hours. Had my fun, on to the next.

Try playing games with other people. There are some cheap fun multiplayer games on Steam like REPO and Peak that are pretty popular right now. Maybe playing with other people and communicating will help?

I tried Borderlands 2 with a friend,but got bored with it really fast.I had
to cheat to make my character powerful enough so that I could actually survive,but that still didn't make the game any fun.

Most of those seem to require reflexes that I don't have. I've been on
heavy anti-psythotics for decades, which cause major tremors and degraded reflexes. I tried Hell Divers 2 and was unable to get past the training into the actual game. That's a problem I've had with a lot of games. Easy mode
is normal, not actually easy. I tried DMC5, but that was way too hard for me as well because the controls were too complex. I also tried AC Fires of Rubicon, which I really enjoyed, but was unable to get to the point where I could save games and modify the mech.

The thing is, I've only found a couple of games that I've enjoyed for more
than a few hours. Kakarot and Mech Warriors 5 Mercenaries. I also had some fun with the Steam Genesis emulator. I've put in 16 hours in Kakarot, about
4 in MW5M, and about 24 in the Genesis Emulator. No other games are even close. Kakarot got too hard (I'm at Vegeta vs. Android 18), MW5M got boring really fast (extremely repetitive) and I got stuck in the Genesis Emulator in Phantasy Star 2 due to difficult maps. If what I have enjoyed is any help, maybe some suggestions can come up... I don't enjoy multi-player, I don't enjoy puzzles and I don't enjoy difficulty at any level. I've got much more that I don't like than what I do like. I do like playing in absorbant environments that make me want to invest in the story, especially one I'm familiar with (which is why I was able to get so far in Kakarot).

Multi-player isn't even slightly interesting. I just get yelled at for being incompetent. My skill level is about that of a 4yo.

Ha, you'd probably fit right in with some people I play REPO with. It can spiral into chaos at a moments notice and can be pretty funny.

I looked at the trailer and this looks kind of fun.I might play it with a friend of mine first,then play with some more people.he needs to build his system first though.he's got all the parts, just not put together yet.

Oh no... did you get stuck somewhere or just got bored by the game regardless? That was a quick one to complete, 3-5 days maximum, evenings time.

I have yet to play
Chained Echoes for more than an hour, and that's a really fun rpg! I don't suffer from brain rot, I've never been one for short form media.

Well, look at it this way. Experience playing not completing. This way when you jump from a game to a game you at least get the general overview of what these games represent and will have less bad feeling about having a backlog.

I really try to complete a game when I start one. Not always possible. Also I get bored quite often but still struggle to go as far as I can.. it all consumes time and when I spend time on one title, 5 more interesting appear on the horizon. You can't play them all one said.. but with your attitude actually you could use it as a benefit to play more titles and bring a general overview of these titles to the community.

That would be valuable feedback to share. What's that game about, why did it trigger your attention, how did it lose it, are you aiming to return?

One more suggestion. Always try small games and simpler (not in the context of difficulty, but complexity). That should give you at least the feeling that you've progressed enough before dropping it off.

That sounds like a plan! I do like mentioning the games that I play and I generally only play them for a short period of time. An example would be
Jedi Fallen Order, which is a Soul's Like, but has difficulty modes. I
played it for about an hour and had some fun. The combat is pretty easy to pick up and I didn't get very far into the force powers, but it is definitely entertaining. The maps might be a little confusing to some, though.
