I just came back from another 2-hour session of ingress in my local town (≈ 10 minute bus ride from my home to the area with lots of portals). That’s the third 2-hour session this weekend, after another one on Thursday :).
I definitely like the game, it’s fun to play, especially with friends. When playing together, you can achieve much more: set up stronger portals, bring down enemy portals quicker, etc.
I noticed that people are getting to know each other via the game.
Also, Ingress is the reason for the most time I’ve spent outside (apart from traveling) in the last decade. My friends share this experience.
Before anyone asks: unfortunately I don’t have any invites to hand out.

- secure 14y agoI think this strongly depends on the area and the enemy faction. When they are quick to re-capture the portals, you have an incentive to immediately put in 2-3 hours again, depending on how many portals there are.
