Yeah. A lot of my favorite games have been the ones that don’t overstay their welcome. A few that come to mind are Portal, subnautica, a hat in time, and celeste.

Highly recommend everyone that likes Portal to try speedrunning it. It's pretty short, especially if you have practiced chamber 16/17/18. You can beat the whole game in 1-2 hours, but it will go down to more like 40 minutes without glitches if you have the solutions memorized.

Then you can save like 15-20 more minutes by learning a few really easy glitches. There's tons of tutorials on speedrun.com/portal, too

I-is Portal the gateway drug to speedrunning?

Are you a speedrunning dealer trying to get me hooked on the light stuff?

No that's super Mario 64.

Or Celeste.

Pshhtt, the hard stuff always seemed more fun to me anyway.
