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)
If you don’t mind an older recommendation, StarFox 64. You could beat the story in about 30 minutes, but there’s lots of secrets and challenges that unlock new completion paths, harder boss variants, etc.
No worries, I love the classics and never played StarFox64, put on my backlog!
