Favourite short games

Post by Fei Ayanami »

Mostly I seem to have lost interest in playing video games recently, but I did just play INSIDE over two sittings while sick and I greatly enjoyed it—both because it was very well done and because it took like 4-5 hours to complete, making it the first game I’ve completed in a long time. (If I finished another game in the past couple years, I don’t remember now.)

So I’m curious, what are some of your favourite short games? Let’s say definitely less than 10 hours, but I’m more interested in ~5 hours or shorter.

I probably have a lot from recent years.

Knights & Bikes, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk and Wattam spring to mind. Of those, I think Wattam is the only one definitely under 5 hours.
Mario RPG remake and Mario Wonder are also only 10 hour games, despite being bigger releases.

Really? Mario RPG was that short? I could swear it was a couple dozen hours like other SNES Square games. I would like to get Mario Wonder at some point. And Wattam I would 100% play if it was on Switch.

What did they do to shorten it to that degree?

Shorter battles. Player damage higher, timed hits do more damage, timed blocks do zero damage. Can't remember what else but people say it's a 10 hour game and I finished it in 11.

Katamari's pretty short, right? I'd say less than 5 hours if you don't fail at all

I finally played Toem last year. Under 5 hours and very engaging throughout.
