Sticking to the puzzle game genre, The Pedestrian is a 2.5D puzzle platformer that requires players to manipulate the physical space around them to progress. The levels are full of charm and engaging but simple puzzles while the story weaves a surprisingly poignant tale about gentrification. Following Katamari rules, the more you suck up the bigger the hole becomes. The game is an imaginative, addicting thrill-ride that will leave your clamoring for a long-awaited sequel.įrom the brilliantly wacky mind of Ben Esposito, Donut County answers one of the world’s most important questions: What if you controlled a hole that swallowed up everything? Players control BK, an anthropomorphic racoon, who goes about sucking up everything around town in an attempt to win a quadcopter drone.
Each level utilizes their specific gimmicks to the fullest, forcing players to platform in a sideways city to literally hop between time. The developers at Respawn Entertainment don’t waste a second though, crafting a tightly knit story built around some of the best controls this side of Call of Duty.
The largest game on the list, Titanfall 2’s single-player campaign speeds by in a mere six hours.
So put down Horizon Forbidden West and lock up the Pokémon, and let us here at Paste show you what’s good in the under eight hour hood. Luckily for everyone, the deep line-up within Xbox Game Pass doesn’t just include the latest Halo and Forza Horizon games, but a few hidden gems that you can spend an afternoon conquering. Those ones that mimic the infamous tweet: “i want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and i’m not kidding.” Being bite-sized doesn’t mean the developers put in any less time or effort in these experiences oftentimes their smaller nature allows for a final product that’s more consistent and polished than games that try to do more. That’s right, I’m talking about short games. Thankfully, some developers not only understand this dilemma, but create games around it. Life can become a whirlwind of working, cooking, seeing friends, and dozens of other overwhelming activities that make spending 20 hours inside a digital world seem frivolous. Sometimes, we just don’t have time to play games.
