Really needed something to chase the Elden Ring I've been chugging recently. Run appeals in almost a polar opposite fashion to me. Short, free-flowing, linear, and (most crucially) to the point. It's hard to deny that even something as simplistic as this feels like a tonic when contrasted with the aimless wandering you can get stuck in playing modern open-world games. In its own way, this game and its sequel were pretty pivotal to a young me developing a taste for the small curated experience, over the larger emptier ones. While it's little more than a tech demo, it's fun for the moment, and I'm happy to say that one of the first games I ever beat holds up as a good use of a half-hour of your time.
