What are some fantastic but short games? Anything goes as long as it's feasible to beat in a couple hours and great for every minute of it.

>What are some fantastic but short games?
Bastion
Knock-Knock if you are into horror games
Portal 1
Arguably Mirrors Edge (the game is really beautiful and feels fantastic MOST of the time, though it has some really, really serious issues)
Hotline Miami

Some people really praise Journey, Brothers and Tansistor. I've only played Transistor out of those, and did not give it much chance to begin with.

I loved this game. The levels are really well designed, the music is beautiful and the set pieces are lovely. It's just and enjoyable game to play.

I still need to find that dessert flour though.

I assume OP isn't asking about games that can be speedran in a few hours.

>>321330935
loved machinarium, as well as his other games
>>
>>321330571
You don't understand
>>
>>321330571
Yeah. But it takes some 12 hours or more to get there, unless you are a complete fucking retard who leaves all the mission markers on while playing on lowest difficulty.
Seriously, saying that Dishonored is super short because it can be completed in 3 hours is a bit like saying Morrowind is short because you can finish it in 40 minutes.

>>321330649
Waking Mars is one game that I completely forgot about, but yeah. That is an FUCKING AWESOME game if you like sci-fi. It's not exactly short though: it actually takes quite a while to complete and sadly turns into a bit of a grind if you want to see the damn ending.

Swapper is I think massively overrated. Maybe it just did not click with me right, but I actually thought that beyond the art direction and few interesting themes, or actually more tones, it was pretty bad. The story did not actually go anywhere in the six hours or so I've played it, and the puzzles are quite awful at times.

I loved the ambience, but that was about it. Waking Mars was miles and miles better than Swapper.

>>321330957
You have literally no clue what you are saying.

Just beat Metal Gear Rising, only took about six hours and it was amazing.
Most Kirby games can be beat pretty quickly.
Undertale is short too.

Hotline Miami is pretty short and sweet. Can't say the same for the second game, but great games nonetheless.
