Conman’s Hyperfocus Hits

As a diagnosed ADHD enjoyer, I jump from game to game, and often stare at my library trying to pick the right game to fit my vibe. Sometimes I don’t even end up picking a game, I just browse the menu in complete executive function paralysis.

But every once in a while I get trapped in a game. These are my obsessions of past and present; they were the only things I wanted to talk about, think about, or play. Games you’d have to pry from my hands for me to eat or sleep.

I’m also going to be very strict with this, even if I said I was addicted in my review, these have to be corroborated by my wife. The games themselves on this list are the ones, even if the game set me on a bit of a franchise obsession. My current hyper-focus is the first in the list.
