I have learned that I don’t think like that, or at least don’t anymore. Maybe I used to. These days I only think I do. I still get that tingle of wanting a huge world to disappear in that you described, at times. But every time I’ve played a 100+ hour game over the past few years hasn’t played out the way I visualise before starting to play. Instead I’ve only become completely worn out, bored and exhausted by them far before the credits roll.
That 20-40h zone of a focused, concise but still meaty experience is definitely my sweet spot. But maybe it’s just my ADHD getting worse with time, who knows.
