Sometimes out of random, TH-cam recommends me a "unpopular" video.. Just saw yours and I was amazed on the quality of it.. Loved the video content and I super agree with you
Thanks a bunch I really appreciate and love comments like these, I'll always keep going and looking forward to making a new video this week...and in 1080p I promise! haha
Stray, ori, death's door, one shot are just some of the short indie games that have proven more worth to me than most triple As. Short immersive stories with great music.
@@thoughtsfromtheshower I'll vouch for One Shot as well! I don't want to say anything about it, but it's $10 on Steam and Overwhelmingly Positive (98% Recent and All)
Shadow of colossus, senua, ico, stray. These are games pack quite a punch. But, when I boot witcher, persona, etc. games filled with missables it feels a huge fucking chore
Great video! One of my favorite short games is Signalis. Though on a first play through it might take over 10 or 12 hours, on subsequent ones (which are ABSOLUTELY worth it, this game is pure art and I mean that literally) it takes about half that. I’m also a fan of shmups since they take 30 or 40 minutes to “beat”, my favorite being Touhou 18. I know I can always boot it up and have fun no matter how much time I have
I’ve been playing ori recently on Xbox. It’s really amazing; and it certainly benefits being on the shorter side. Such good games, I wish bigger developers didn’t drag their games out so much.
Let’s goooo!! I’m a third of the way through Ori and then put it on my backlog, gotta get back into it after I finish sea of stars…Hifi Rush was also amazing on Xbox 🔥
@@thoughtsfromtheshower Yeh; it’s an amazing game bro. Anyway; I’ve never played hifi rush before, how was that? It would be great if you made a whole video on it.
@@WoodenCases definitely going to, was thinking of putting it in this one but might dedicate a whole one on it in the near future, it was awesome and very "nostalgic" feeling
Great video, I completely agree with you! Some recommendations: Tunic, Bugsnax, Slay the Princess, Superliminal, Roboquest, Sable Also, Shadow of the Colossus is one of my all time favorites! Though, I like it for the opposite reason as you- exploration is my favorite aspect of video games and I loved the quiet half of the game spent traveling. That said, the boss battles are fantastic and imo the best gaming has to offer
It seems like pacing is really a big thing you value. Also something that most studio have trouble executing well. Here are some recommendations… Pseudoregalia Crow country Immortality Little kitty big city Toem Portal 2 (assume you’ve probably played this though) All 2-8 hours. Perfectly paced, and super high quality. And pseudoregalia being an easy 10/10 across the board. Give them a go.
A great short game is Gato Roboto. I binged that game and 100%ed it in about 7 hours but it was absolutely worth the couple of bucks I paid for it. I'd also recommend Celeste. It is paced really well, and you can feel satisfied after beating a chapter, which helps combat that game binging I am prone to. You can kind of set your own difficulty/time commitment too by deciding which extras to go after.
Just played through superliminal, that’s an amazing 5 hour game for cheap if you are looking for more. Been picking away at persona 5 for 3 years lol! At the third palace. I thinkn there are some medium length games also like dead space and resident evil series. Agree that for some of these longer ones like jrpgs I just want to blitz through the narrative since they drag.
You should play the order 1886. You can get it very cheap these days. It’s 5-7 hours. Very pretty, very fun, cool story. Got hated for its length at launch because it was a full priced Sony exclusive. Easily worth your money now.
My most favorite games have been long games like God of War/The Last of Us series as well as others. However now I feel like with me trying to beat Red dead 2 it’s so time consuming that I feel like I’m not making much progress when I get on. So instead I’ve played some indie games and found Super Liminal and it was a treat, I really recommend it. It all depends on how much time your willing/able to spend on a game and how much your invested in the story/gameplay.
I’m working on ragnarok now, I think those games also have a great length similar to the Spider-Man games, and I’ll be sure to check out super liminal!
@@thoughtsfromtheshower ay awesome! Ragnarok was absolutely phenomenal, and the writing is just incredible. Best of luck with the emotional and thrilling journey!
Uhhh I don’t think it’s too blurry is it? I was going back and forth between what font I wanted…I’ll give you that I plan to add 1080p for the next vid not sure why it didn’t do it for this one
I’ve been saying this for years. I’d rather have a short but packed game over a long and bare game like Ubisoft releases.
Facts and it’s something that I’ve come to realize over the years, I used to value length now I value quality
Inside is a wonderful short game experience
Heard the name but haven’t seen it before, I’ll check it out

Ori isn't particularly short
I definitely prefer shorter games. I want to be immersed in the story, and bigger games do lose a bit when the story is dragged for so long
For sure! Some games are deff exceptions but the short length of games can be more satisfying with maintaining the feels haha
god i FEEL YOU on this one
I’m glad someone does! Haha

@@PureAsbestos I wanna play Celeste next after sea of stars!
This is a really great video for such a small channel, keep the work up!
Thanks glad you liked it!
just at the point in my life where i appreciate a manageable adventure
Haha facts!
We need more games that are perfect for the working man.
@@theguyinthere indie games are the way to go! At least when you’re busy, I’m going through a big indie phase right now haha
I don't know if anyone else said this, but based on your words I believe you will love Furi.
Also SOMA is one of my favorite experiences in a game.
@@miyazakisimping niiice just watched the trailer that combat looks so satisfying!
@@thoughtsfromtheshower Hard as nails, but it's basically a boss rush with exposition and a sick OST. 100% recommended.
Soma is a masterpiece

Felt the commentary
Haha nice glad you enjoyed
Katana Zero is a short game I really, REALLY suggest you check out. The story is beautiful and the game is only around 8 hours
I’m almost done with it actually! Also playing Nine Sols right now, not pixel art but 2D art it’s awesome
@@thoughtsfromtheshower That's so awesome! What do you think so far? I really enjoyed the ending (won't spoil but it's a masterpiece)!
Hollow knight (its on the longer end of "short games" about 30 hours if you focus on story)
Oh wow didn’t know it was that long! I’m meaning to give Celeste a try and then hollow knight
Sing it from the mountaintops! I am not into those bloated games
Haha will do!
try Asura's wrath, it's insane
Nice I’ll look into it!
Nice vid but thumbnail was blurry why?
Uhhh I don’t think it’s too blurry is it? I was going back and forth between what font I wanted…I’ll give you that I plan to add 1080p for the next vid not sure why it didn’t do it for this one
@@thoughtsfromtheshower don't know man maybe the text behind the cat is creating some sort of optical illusion try upscaling the text
