I have been on a kick lately with short games. Because I’m a parent with a hectic job, it’s really nice to be able to beat a game in just a few days.

I’ve played both Plague Tale games (10 & 20 hours respectively), Stray (7 hours), and Alan Wake (10 hours). All great stories, very atmospheric, and felt like just the right length for what they were.

Any other good story-heavy games that are pretty short? Throw any and all recommendations at me!

    A couple great 2D indie games I’d recommend are carrion (if you’re into horror movies) and katana zero. Most Halo campaigns as well as gears of war are pretty short.

    I also absolutely appreciate shorter games. I’m in the same boat where my time is limited, I’ve recently gotten into games that are pick up and play, have short segments, and save often. From that perspective, Spider-Man remastered is perfect, and it’s kid friendly enough that I can play occasionally with my kids in the room.
