Games That Were The Perfect Length

Binding of Isaac. 2000+ hours. perfect length

Portal and Portal 2, great balance between puzzles and storytelling!

For me, Kirby and the forgotten land is just such a great experience and the best Kirby game ever. I loved every level and never really got bored of it at any point, I cannot wait for the next entry to hopefully take this formula and go wild with it

Anything bite sized that can be played over the weekend is perfect for me. Dredge, Portal 1+2, Hotline Miami, Cult of the Lamb, Metroid Dread, Inside, Little Nightmares and so forth

Ori and the Blind Forest, as well as its sequel, Ori and the Will of the Wisps

Links Awakening I think fits this mold perfectly.

I recently played Journey for the first time and I thought that was the perfect length. I didn’t find the game to be particularly *fun*, but it is incredibly beautiful, so I appreciated that it was about the length of watching a movie.

Donkey Kong - Tropical Freeze, fun from start to finish and can get the puzzle pieces if you wanted more

A game that felt like the perfect length/pace to me was Ghost Trick! It was short, less than 10 hours for me to finish. There's a lot of reading, but the flashy animation, gorgeous presentation and enjoyable puzzles keeps you from feeling bored from beginning to end. The cast of characters and this game's story have stuck in my brain for over a decade, and I've loved coming back to this game many times over that time. Between all that and the intriguing ghost and time travel conceits, I believe this to be one of the most fun and accessible VNs on the market! Perfect for anyone who's ever been interested in Ace Attorney, which was written by the same guy, but was intimidated by the games' length.

only because i just played it, Paper Mario 64 - just a great length, no lull RPG.

Great video, perfect length 👍🏻

RE4. 12 hours, perfect pacing.

sometimes I miss John, but my goodness do I love having Felix now! Great addition to the channel. Sea of Stars has become one of my all time favorite games!

I motored through Star Ocean: The Second Story R. I honestly struggled to stop playing it and finished it in just under 2 weeks (work got in the way).

Celeste was the first game I played on switch and it was just the best introduction. Absolute gem of a game: awesome soundtrack, difficult yet intelligent level design and a beautiful story, all in the perfect amount of time. Loved every minute of it.

I've just finished Ghost Trick, loved how bitesized it was

Titanfall 2 It’s arguably a little short, but has a lot of replay value. You can select a mission and slowly work up your completion on harder difficulties, collecting the pilot helmets, gradually improving at the game as you go

Metroid Dread, Portal 1, Catherine, Resident Evil 4 (both), Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is what pops to my head initially for this

What remains of Edith Finch

For me I've been playing a lot of short but sweet indie games and I highly recommend all of the following ones. Lil Gator Game, A Short Hike, Unpacking, Little Nightmares, and Corn Kidz 64 were all short but really good experiences. Also Pikmin 4 was the perfect length and pacing of the last year as a standout title. Introduced mechanics at a really good pace but never overstayed it's welcome 👌
