My group does weekly 2 hour sessions, so 5e combat can last weeks. By the third session of combat the players are starting to forget the stakes of the fight.

I've had similar experiences with 2 hour sessions in both D&D and Cyberpunk RED. I've started aiming to have fights done in one session, usually with the opponents having some win/lose condition that will end the fight logically.

For my next campaign, I think I'll give Blades in the Dark a shot. I also want to try Ten Candles, but I hear that can be tough.
