My usual gaming routine is to play one long game followed by a short game or two. I don't like going from one long game right into the next. Having something you can beat in a day or two is a nice way to break things up.

Thanks for having me! Was fun trying to think of super short and fun games. Now everyone go play Vanquish 😜

Thank you for having me, it was fun to pause and think of all the "shorter" games that we can play when life is keeping us busy and not letting us deep dive into 60+ hour RPGs 👍🏻✨

Special thanks to everybody who joined. You can find their channels in the description or hell, right here too! But a special, special thanks is owed to Happy Console Gamer for not freaking out when I showed him that I animated him as essentially a person, an alien, a worm with a head and a blob (A blob is what having a hangover feels like to me so it seemed suiting) I had a lot of fun getting weird with that one and he seemed to enjoy it! I hope you do too! The Gaming Shelf - kzfaq.info Happy Console Gamer - kzfaq.info Miss Bubbles - kzfaq.info Gaming With Spoons - kzfaq.info Daniel Santos: Analytical Editorials - kzfaq.info

There's really nothing like Vanquish out there.

Thanks for having me on Tark. these all look awesome and I'm gonna have to check out. It was an honor work alongside so many awesome creators.

the animations during Johny story xD i can't, it make it hilarious

In my case, first Uncharted. A good friend of mine ask me to stay at his place for a weekend to take care of his dog while he was away and told me to play his PS3 all the time I wanted. So I did. I sat down at 7 pm, and finished the game by 6am, just stopping to have something to eat and to walk the dog out a few times. It wasn't my first time playing, but it was the my first time beating it. I inmidiately started Uncharted 2, and I almost beat it that weekend (just a couple of hours left to the end). This same friend also invited me and another one to his place the day he bought the PS3 and we beat God of War 3 that same day taking turns. Awesome experience!

I recently played and finished the first 2 Monkey Island games and both were short enough to beat in 1 sitting each (about 4-5 hours). Got the remaining Monkey Island games ready to play them in 1 sitting each too. I also remember a few years ago buying and playing Ikachan on my 3DS. The creator of Cave Story made a very short game years prior then got released on the 3DS eShop without much fanfare. Around 5$CND and an hour later, I was already done with the game. Yeah, having short games to play, especially when you don't have spare time, is always a welcome change from your typical 50+ hour RPGs or 30+ hour Action-Adventure games.

This video is right up my alley. The older I get, the more I hate long games. I just don't have 15+ hours to waste on 1 game. The last few years, I've grown really found of shorter 5-10 hour games. I would recommend Little Nightmares 1 and 2. The odd characters, the story, the absolute beautiful macabre art style. Soooo good!

Found this channel thanks to the gaming shelf and subbed as soon as the video ended.

Hearing all these good games makes me realize how little time I actually have these days. This was a great video everyone

I would add The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. I turned off my phone, put on my headphones, and went through it in around 6 hours. Such a good memory.

Nice collab video, dude!

Advance Guardian Heroes is what you're looking for!

Oh wow! So many of my favourites come together in one video! Awesome work orchestrating this sir :) !

Loved HCG's story. Maybe this is the secret weapong behind every functioning alcoholic.

Sweet video. These are great titles. Can I also recommend Severed (I have played it on Vita and Switch) a first person dungeon crawler with touchscreen combat that works really well and is almost puzzle-like. Looks gorgeous and has lots of secrets to find, you can 100% it in 6-8 hours.

Great collab man! I love collabs! It’s fun to see so many people you love in one video!

I started getting into games that I can finish in one sitting around 2019. Reason for that is the frustration over rpgs I've been dealing with on how little I can progress in 5 hours. Thanks to shmups and games that thrived in arcade era, I discovered the hidden world of indies. And thanks to my frustration to long games, I discovered my number 1 game of all time. Anyways, I gotta try this Astebreed one day. Its the closest game to my number 1 game series of all time, the "Suguri" series...... Also play Suguri and Sora!

more collabs like this! your channel is the most criminally underrated channel on the entire platform >.< over all these years, you've earned so much more exposure...

Really enjoying all the great content lately 👌, thanks !

Katamari Damacy and Onimusha Warlords are 2 of my favorite short games. Was kinda surprised to not see either of them here.

Hi Tarks! Why don't you try out "Mizzurna Falls"? It's a PS1 game from Human Entertainment that has recently got a fan translation. I think you may like it. Btw great video, keep it up!

I came for your Tokyo Xanadu review but subbed when I saw you're pals with HappyConsoleGamer. Anyone who's cool with him is cool with me

I remember being maybe 6 and couldn't beat mega man legends lol id love to play it again

Oh man, the concept of this video is extremely relatable to me. Too many games, not enough time. Also, great collaborators! Edit: Damn, so many games I need to try. Before Your Eyes is a must-buy.

Great content Sir Tarks your guest are great! Happy for the suggestions i learned about new games! Also cool to see my friend Ms Bubbles in your video! I love ur channel Sir Tarks keep posting good content

I found you through a review of Catherine. Since then I actually got a pretty bad brain injury. I can't game or do anything for more than about half an hour. This has made it so that RPGs, or many other skill based long games are just too much now for me. The last long game I played was fatal frame 2. I love this game but hated it by the time I was at the end because it took me about 10 hours which translates to 2 months or so now for me and this injury. Games I can enjoy today are sub 5 hour games and they still take me about 10-15 sittings easily.

I can’t for your Atelier Sophie 2 review

Great video and great topic! I love those in between games to give me a little break before my next huge JRPG adventure!

One sitting can definitely be an asset. I think back to 2007 for instance and I really thing that the length of Portal and COD4 enhanced their appeal because they could be beat in one sitting. I wish more RPGs were like that. Suikoden I guess could be done in two sessions which is cool

Why am I just now finding this channel! Come on @KZfaq fix your algorithm

These are some amazing picks.

I love RPGs but I also love shmups or simpler games like Katamari or Gunvolt but if I have to pick a recent one it's gotta be Gunvolt Luminous Avenger 👍

Gungrave for PS2 is amazing and you can blow through it in about 2 hours. I’ve played that game so many times with a six pack on a Friday night. I was able to snag a decent copy on eBay for about $20. Prices have gone up unfortunately. The sequel is also fantastic

Depending on your skill, Sonic 3 can fit the bill as well.

Donut County is a great game for young children too 😁

good list!! 100% cheers

Love AsteBreed. I’m terrible at these arcade bullet hellish shooter games. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the game though. Still haven’t gotten all the in-game achievements so there’s definitely replay value that will bring me back to the game from time to time. Also love the OST, and while the story isn’t special…I did enjoy it, would like to see EdleWeiss make like a sequel for Asteebreed. Oh, and With the recent news of WiiU/3DS Eshop’s eventual end. Decided to FINALLY pick up “Liberation Maiden” for the 3DS. Man, gotta say…Wish GrassHopper manufacture would develop more arcade-y Shooter’s. Would also love to see an ACTUAL sequel to the game with the same gameplay style instead of a visual novel sequel. (Strange that Mages never localized Liberation Maiden -Sin-…shame that game is stuck on the PSVITA as far as I know..) Which reminds me…. The golden era of Level -5…🙏🏻😞 since they published Liberation maiden for 3DS…they’ve really lost their way man…the lack of western releases of any of their recent games have been quite sad lately. Really hope “Megaton musashi” would get a localization at some point.

Oh you would be such a terrible host :D Great video as always!

Megaman legends was so fun

Well now my backlog grows

Waifu miss bubbles has arrived

I've actually played Donut County. Yakuza Kiwami 2 was releasing in about 2 weeks at the time and I didn't wanna start playing a long game when it was close to one I was very looking forward to. So I went looking into the games in my library and seeing which were short and it ended up being TOO short even for my given mood. I beat it in 2 hours and had to find something else to play immediately after with plenty of time left in the day. I went and looked up how much it costs and I think it was like $15 or something along those lines. So I wouldn't really recommend it unless you can get it in a bundle or its an affordable price.

Me who without hyperbole is juggling over 150 games: naw

Please, please, please play Sumire.
