By posting another question here I realized, that I really enjoy games which are ‘short’ (Play start to finish in around one hour) and have lots of replay value.

My favorites are Street Fighter 2, Contra (NES), Slay the Spire, Guilty Gears, etc.

Any recommendations? I am looking especially for games that are hard but fair and have super tight controls (like Contra)

    Dead Cells is amazing. It’s a side scrolling, action-adventure, RPG-ish Rogue-like game. I’ve spent so much time playing this game.

    The player takes the role of an amorphous creature called the Prisoner. As the Prisoner, the player must fight their way out of a diseased island in order to slay the island’s King. The player gains weapons, treasure and other tools through exploration of the procedurally-generated levels. Dead Cells features a permadeath system, causing the player to lose all items and other abilities upon dying. A currency called Cells can be collected from defeated enemies, allowing the player to purchase permanent upgrades.

    I personally played it on my phone with a controller, but it’s available on all major consoles iirc
