You know, this is something I can get behind. I thoroughly enjoyed Firewatch which had a (relatively) short story and just provided a simple enough story. It didn't try to do a ton more than what it advertised and it left a lot unanswered (which was fine)
I also found a ton of value in Stardew Valley which I sank hours into but the condensed time of a single "day" made gameplay much more bite sized and short. It is a MUCH longer game though compared to Firewatch but both scratch a good itch.
- deergomoo 6y agoI played Firewatch in a single sitting with my fiancée a few years ago. It was a really nice shared experience and it's what made me realise that these days I much prefer games I can finish in a few hours. For a long time I had the tendency to stubbornly force myself to finish any game I started, which meant I was spending a lot of my gaming time not actually having fun.
- darkwizard42 6y agoSimilar to that forcing a finish habit, I've started to avoid trying to "min/max" games in an effort to just slow down and discover. I definitely had way more fun in Stardew Valley with my partner doing this.
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoAnother great 'short' game is Journey, which me and my family all played individually and really enjoyed. IIRC it only takes up to 4 hours to get through it entirely; it's definitely worth sitting down and doing a full playthrough of in one go.
- darkwizard42 6y agoOoo, thanks for the recommendation! Can you play Journey with a partner live or is it best left to two individual playthroughs?
