I love RTS but I rarely play it these days because I don't have a lot of screen time. When I have half an hour to pick up my device I'm probably going to play an FPS. I did start a play through of the original homeworld campaigns a while back but I've not had time to progress far.

fwiw in my experience, most Age of Mythology: Retold games last about 10–15 minutes. So you could usually get 2 games in if you've got half an hour free.

I should say, this is when I play ranked games at a slightly-above-average Elo. RTS games have a reputation for trending to go much longer at very low Elos because players aren't good at doing aggressive strategies. I dunno how much this would apply in AoM though, compared to AoE2 (which is my main source for this point) because defensive buildings are much stronger in AoE2 than AoM.
