I’m currently playing “Cassette Beasts”. Pretty fun game that takes the pokemon formula, and turns it on its head.

I will not play long and involved 300 hour games. It’s too much. I want bite sized games.

The internet said this game is 25 hours long. Except thats bullshit. There are 130 monsters. I’ve caught 16. I’ve been playing for 17 hours. I don’t know if this game has “gym leaders”. But if they do, I haven’t seen them yet.

I have no bad words about the game, other than the fact that it takes 10 minutes (I timed it) to go from not yet opening the game, to get to a title screen. It also crashes pretty regularly. Meaning you gotta wait 10 minutes AGAIN.

But the point is, I’ve barely scratched the surface of this game, and I’m approaching the time period where most people have beaten games.

Am I just bad at games?

    The time to beat a game is generally for the main story if you don’t take ages doing other things. Quite often with side quests or other non essential steps like collecting things or trying to 100% a game it will take way longer then the estimated time to complete. This is epically true for more open-world type of games with lots of places to explore.
