    I, Zombie is trivially easy and not horrible for something you intend to spend about 2 hours with. The speed requirements for the levels are reasonable and down, on the few mildly difficult ones, to simply knowing the pattern (which you can find on YouTube if you’re desperate, I think I had to look up 3 puzzles or so). I cannot say it’s a good game, but it’s a competent indie quality game that doesn’t overstay its welcome and doesn’t think it’s anything that it’s not.

    I’m surprised Seasons After Fall isn’t on the list, it’s 6-8 hours and an excellent story, genuinely a good game.

    Planet of the Eyes is a good story and easy-ish platformer. There’s some annoying jumping areas that would be a lot harder if you didn’t immediately respawn directly in front of them. In this sense you spend 5 minutes, frustrated, trying to get through them and then move on. It’s has okay indie gameplay and a great story.

    Planet of the Eyes at that price is pretty easy to recommend. A decent platformer with some decent art direction.

    Note that Null Drifter & Project Starship like Red Death are included in the Eastasiasoft Indie Shmup Bundle for 3.59 USD or equivalent. That’s the best bang for the buck.

    The achievement list for each game is very quick & easy—much easier than properly playing the games. If you want a bit of a challenge, the games will provide that. Just keep playing after your 100% completion.

    Willy and the Curse of Bone Town? Come on, you can't be naming your game that.

    Going to second this, was really impressed by this game. Well worth picking up.

    Never understood the appeal to spending money to play games just to get a high gamerscore number. If gamerscore actually has no tangible benefit to someone, then whats the point in spending money on games your not going to enjoy just to reach a high number? Im all for trying to complete games cuz i enjoy completing a checklist which i implement in real life too, but not enjoying what your doing and spending money on crap games confuses me.
    Achievements are my drug.o

    Seasons after fall didn't make the list? It's 6-8 hours but definitely a good pick up! It's a knock off Ori but it's a good experience none the less :)

    Oh! Also Planet of the eyes is a good pick up as well! Super good Limbo clone with a neat story. I miss you robot friend 🥺

    You'd think that with all the times EpiXR games have rehashed and reused the same formula (aery games, life of fly, from earth..) they would be able to afford paying for different in game music, but nooooo... They've been using the same frickin' soundtrack in all their games... It's so annoying 😑

    The new completion estimate ranges we introduced have also introduced a bug with this table. The devs are aware, though! It should hopefully be fixed soon. You can sort the table by completion time at the top, which seems to shuffle it all back into the correct place toast

    You do you by all means friend. But wouldn't assume those who like an easy completion necessarily "quit every game that gets hard".

    As an example some like having some on hand to keep achievement streaks running maybe between other games, some like the numbers, or maybe just a cheap quick game as a palette cleanser. I'm mostly playing CK3 and Stellaris (pretty big games), and was thinking of getting the From Earth to Heaven (Aery-alike game) as I find them cheap and relaxing, and I like some achievements, even though I've let my daily streak break this year. And whatever your taste gaming is only entertainment, so is only about feeling good (again in whatever way works for you) - there is nothing inherently more virtuous in a longer or shorter game, or even in preferring easy or more challenging game styles.

    Just trying to suggest it isn't as black and white - and suggest trying to hold back the instinct to criticise what may not be to your taste. Have fun with whatever you are playing :)
