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?

    That ten minute boot time is not normal. Something’s very wrong with your PC, especially if other games or programs have minutes-long launch times.

      No, Cassette Beasts has a lot of issues like this. For example, sometimes it instantly drains my entire battery for no reason

      They didn’t give us a reference point of their other games’ launch times, but my first thought was this is a HDD gamer.

        An HDD from 1990 maybe. Modern HDD wouldnt load that slow.
