I play once a day which lasts for between 5 and 30 mins. Perfect game for quick goes. Had a spell when I couldn't get through the mines, but now that's rarely an issue. The trick for me was to learn how to rob the shop on level 2 with a high degree of success.
I'm thinking it is a short term sense of completion I'm going for. I've played stuff like Spelunky and Rogue Legacy and I get its great if you practice, but I think I want to start something play it for a few hours and complete it. Will start with Her Story and The Stanley Parable.
Makes sense. Spelunky et al. are the antithesis of that really in that you don't really ever get a sense of completion. Spelunky is probably the reason I don't get more things completed in fact.
1 day is about 10-15mins. I've just been doing a day here and there. I'd love to have a longer sesh but likewise, no time. The only annoying thing is you can only save at the end/beginning of the day.
Build a storage chest and put stuff in there, you need ~50 wood.
edit: I never actually dropped stuff before but just tested it and you can by dragging it from your inventory off the inventory screen (not key items like tools though).
Ive recently started putting chests in useful places. One by the mine with my sword and for keeping mined stuff in, one by the sea with my rod and some fishing type stuff.
Playing Crysis now as I got it on the cheap at a steam sale.
The good:
Gfx are luvly, even 10 years later. Dat openworld design + foliage.....
The bad:
Clunky controls. Coming from Halo the controls just feel unnescesary complex?
The ugly:
My 2011-2012 nvidia GTM555 still can't run this in 1080p@60hz max settings (laughs/cries)
720p@45fps hi settings is the most I can squeeze out of the hw.

A the time they claimed no card could fully run it - it was designed to be more playable with future cards. Probably mostly hyperbole but not many games have since appeared that push the hardware so much.
The game was designed to showcase the Cryengine afterall.
Newer nvidia cards x60 and up should run it in 1080p @ max settings no problem I imagine as should the hi end R270-290 amd cards. I was surprised at how well the gfx had aged.
Can't say that for all games. A AAA game from 2004-2005 for example is leagues behind, pretty much a different generation.
