> for casual gamers - a lot of games are offputting since you have to spend a lot of time trying to learn the mechanics / lore. Now that I have kids, I have real trouble playing anything that requires you to actually build skill at the specific mechanics/controls of that particular game. What happens is I get a ways in, have to put it down for a week or two, come back, am at a part of the game that's quite a bit more difficult than the beginning and requires you to know how to play moderately well, but don't even remember the controls, so I'm just fucked and can't make much headway without a ton of frustration and effort. Same happens for narratives in games. I really appreciate the modern trend of reminding you WTF was going on when you load a game.
