Simple quick sessions that you can pick up and put down whenever without having to remember too much is what I want on a portable system. I tend to have downtime in my vehicle at work, and I can put in 20-30 minutes into Hades 2 and still have a pretty good idea of what was going on when I come back to it a few hours or a few days later, without having to search for a good stopping point.
