The solution for me was hardcore mode. I play most of games with one life or 30% chance of dying (inspired by Outwards hardcore mode). My gameplay has changed so much.
Of course, you cannot do this with all games but most of RPGs and adventure games are compatible with the hardcore mode.
Currently playing Last Epoch, an Arpg, great fun. One life or you delete the character.
As someone who doesn’t have too much time any more because of family it is the total opposite for me. If I would play and die I would just stop. Back in the days I always played hardcore but now I don’t see the point in seeing your time spent just evaporate into northing but memories. I do usually try to get as far as possible without dying so I play as if I would play hardcore but without the deletion stuff if I would die.
With that said I know that it is much more interesting to play hardcore for some people and they can’t see the fun in playing without the extra challenge of never dying.
Yeah, I probably do the same in this situation. I probably play strong narrative games, short indies games, roguelikes.
I don’t really feel that my time evaporate into nothing. I have more memories of the rush of adrenaline of failed attempts than any recent video games stories. I play the journey of the character and not really the story.
Luckily for us, we can have all sort of experiences with so many video games out everyday. We’re in a golden age !

Kingdom come in hardcore is amazing. Genuinely having to pick your battles and taking care of your wounds is amazing.
