You ever play a video game that you'd describe as "Nothing"? Tails' Skypatrol is one of the most "nothing" games I think I've played in a while, barely firing off a single neuron in my brain beyond the occasional thoughts of "This makes me want a Gradius III mod that replaces Vic Viper with Tails", and "Jesus fucking christ I can't tell what's in the background, foreground and the plain that contains objects that can kill me, why do foreground elements hide the flight meter?" Beyond that, I've barely felt more passive in a roughly 30-45 minute long gaming session.
