Yeah. A lot of my favorite games have been the ones that don’t overstay their welcome. A few that come to mind are Portal, subnautica, a hat in time, and celeste.
Highly recommend everyone that likes Portal to try speedrunning it. It’s pretty short, especially if you have practiced chamber 16/17/18. You can beat the whole game in 1-2 hours, but it will go down to more like 40 minutes without glitches if you have the solutions memorized.
Then you can save like 15-20 more minutes by learning a few really easy glitches. There’s tons of tutorials on speedrun.com/portal, too
Actually would want to see more rough diamonds than polished turds. If more time was focused on the idea rather than the execution of graphics we would potentially see more unique games
I mean, for a while now I’m not even sure you could call those turds polished…
Battle Bit is pretty popular right now.
