I'm playing Lego Jurassic World with my 4year old daughter.

We finished Jurassic Park after 1 year (she was 3 years old that time so patience was really tested, specially on parts that needs both of us to be coordinated).

Its hard to find time for us to play together, and she has been very patient with me because I travel 240kms dialy for work.

Hey just letting you know that I used to be in a similar situation (215km daily; 3 hrs of commuting), and I feel your pain.

I did it for several years and the dangerous part is just getting used to many hours of your day evaporating into thin air. Ages 1-7 are critically formative years for a child, and you should be around as much as possible. Every time I think about the days where I left the house before my kids woke up, and came home after they were in bed, kills me.

Please try your best to find a job with a shorter commute. The time you don't spend with your family gets lost forever. I'm rooting for you!

The Lego games are surprisingly fun for adults.

You got me :D

My wife suspects that I'm using mydaughter as an excuse to play the games/movies I missed when I was growing up.

We still have about 90 percent to finish in lego jurassic world.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
