Both.
:)

I usually play for 30m - 1h because my eyes get tired but if the game manages to catch me I can play for hours without realizing

It depends on the game. If it's a game with levels I play a few levels or sometimes just one. If it's something story-driven, I play for a longer time.

First type of game I usually play during week after work and second one at the weekend.

i can't play in short bursts, i feel no enjoyment. if i don't have several hours to dedicate, i'd rather not play anything (like i've been doing for 2 months).

spurt (i couldn't help myself. but actually longer...durations.)

Both actually some games I do for short duration (<30min : 2 hrs, games with daily stuff or games I'm planning on 100% but in a long period) and others (usually the game I'm focused on 100% very soon, or a game new to me that really captured my interest and attention) long duration.

For puzzles, more breaks in between and maybe 3 hours max. For everything else, 3-7 hours and a few breaks to stretch.

Depends. If I really can’t find the time but need a break from whatever I’m doing, 30 mins.
If I can, 1-3h.

It depends on the game and my mood.
I prefer to spend a few hours at a time, and on something with either a story or some kind of escalating progression loop (my fave being stuff where you build bases/homes/outposts, like Space Engineers, Terraria, etc). Though when I should be doing something productive and I get the urge to procrastinate, shorter bursts of other kinds of game work well, like Droplitz, Death's Gambit, Card City Nights.

I really liked Rain World but could only really play it for shorter bursts while I was learning the system, then upgraded to longer sessions. Other games like XCom start out with longer sessions while I lovingly mash my crews and bases into place, but then fizzle into short bursts to do a mission or two once the gameplay loop grind starts to weigh on me.

Multiplayer-centric games are pretty much random. I can burn hours if the mood strikes me, or just one or two matches if just for daily rewards or if I have a terrible run of luck with the matchmaker/attitudes/etc.

if I have the free time even 10-12 hours is no problem (single player games only, multiplayer games make me ragequit eventually after 5 hours)

I play for 30 mins to 1 hr depending on the game, but some rpg's I can play for 5+ hours and not even realize where the time went.

I usually have one game, usually an RPG, that I'll play for long durations, and then take breaks and play shorter games so I don't burn out.

Mine is more 30 minutes to 2 hours generally, if I'm playing a very immersive experience I can get lost in it and play 2 hours, if I'm playing in an open world and just doing things in the world to have it done (get it marked off on my checklist) I tend to play 30 minutes to 1 hour, generally.

I had the same problem before.
A solution is limiting the number of games installed at the same time.
As soon as you finish one, you can install another one.

Now, i tend to play long sessions of 2-3 games until finished. Well, some games can't be finished ofc.

depends on the day and game , generally speaking i prefer to play for many hours on end but i can only do that during the weekends . during the week it depends on the night it could be anywhere from 1-4 hours or so but i prefer rpgs so it makes it hard to even touch them mid-week due to needing to sleep for work and if i do game i only have a possible window from 1am-6am anyway (i work 2nd shift).

havent left my house in over 15 years, so i play for far longer durations then normal people. heck just bought stardew valley like 5 days ago and already put 100+ hours into it and 100%ed it

im sad by the lack of replay value

I often need a break after an hour or so. I have trouble motivating myself to longer sessions. There are games, however, that are so good that I can actually play them for 5 hours straight, with a few breaks for smoking. Bloodstained was such a game, for example.

I find that I prefer to play games where I can put a chunk of time into it to get into the flow of it. Especially so with games where saves are at a premium or to get to a certain phase of the game. Also, in situations where there are quite a lot of combos to learn and get used to. If I have say an hour block to play games, I will tend to play those games where I can drop in and play straight away. Horses for courses I suppose.

I'll just skip playing (or play something more "casual") if I know I don't have at least 1 hour.

Depending on the game, I play for anywhere between 30 minutes to 3 hours. I usually don't play for longer than that since my eyes get tired.

When I was young I could play all day and night. Now that I'm older with job, wife, house, there is not much time, so I prefer games I can pick up and play for a few minutes at a time without worrying about interruptions ruining it.

Really depends on my mood. Like with hogs I will make sure to finish that in 1 session but of course if its draining my energy I will take a little break in between bits. However overall yeah I would probably say long spurts since I do like to typically do 1 story and 1 game so most of my time isnt split up in the end

I usually play in short spurts because I want the game to last longer lol. Yeah that's my weird mentality.

I can play for long hours without being tired, my longest playing session was 16 hours. (or more, I don't remember)
I was stressed because of a job and when I quit, I played Skyrim nonstop. Finished the entire game in one month (base game and expansions, lvl 300+).

It really depends on the game as well as the platform. I can easily get those 5+ hours on a 3DS or Switch, I'm sure I've gotten it on other consoles or handhelds too, but on the computer I seldom push through this long. Usually cause I have a potato so it doesn't run much that's too exciting. It's still possible but a lot less likely since I prefer to keep my comp running with messengers, internet etc, so if I wanna game while I'm at it, I outsource that XD But I also have phases where I just do "dailies" in games that operate as such and then leave it be.
