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?

    10 mins to get to a title screen sounds like a red flag without having actually played it myself

    Assuming you’re playing on PC, have you got it installed on an SSD rather than an HDD? Some games really don’t like being run from an HDD these days

      I have no clue what OP is playing on, but I just booted it up on Steam Deck and got to the title menu in 75 seconds, and I shit you not 15 seconds of that was actually downloading an update and I didn’t restart the timer.
