Recommend a Game and I'll Review It: TURBO Edition

Hey it's that list idea everyone does when they don't know what to play and they want to write more
(strongly inspired by ConeCvltist, realest one I know)

New Funky Rules:
- Game has to be short: Max length, like... 10 hours? Story-Based Third-Person Shooter Type Lengths or less, please
- It's gotta be a specific game... if u wanna suggest a series, sell me on exactly one of them lmao
- It's not like essential but if it's something everyone has played, like Mario... yknow. spice it up a bit. go crazy go stupid ahh

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm idk!!!! This is really hard - I'm trying to think of a game I know you'll like.

Maybe Silent Hill 2 since you liked RE1? SH2 is a lot heavier though... it's more of a gameplay connection than anything else!

it's always a little picky with lenght for shmups, but i pick Touhou Seirensen: Undefined Fantastic Object (or just 2hu 12)

Gungrave. 2 hours long. No idea if it's something you'll like. Just the first game that came to mind.

Gonna recommend it again, buuut: The Beginners Guide. Its 90 minutes long soo 👉👈😳

The Dark Eye. It's only a few hours long and well worth playing.

I see you have UNSIGHTED on your backlog, so I'll pick this one.

Wario Land 4 or 3.

drool of the killer, growing my grandpa, perfect vermin, spookware (2nd release from dread x collection not giant one). all roughly 30 minutes long, spooky, and free except for growing my grandpa $5.
A solid half life 2 mod that actually has a steam page I reccomend is Entropy Zero 2.
Outside of the voice acting and dialogue, the game is pretty great; a decent amount of new weapons and enemies will show up throughout your playthrough. Its about 6 hours.

Another few recs:
A Hand with Many Fingers (~2 Hours Long)
Metamorphabet (25 minutes long)

Claw! A horribly-overlooked 2D platformer for PC from '97. Playthroughs on YouTube are between 1 and 3 hours. https://www.backloggd.com/games/claw/
It's abandonware, so you'd have to get it here: https://captainclaw.net/en/downloads.html
You'll want the 1st and 3rd downloads.

Toree 3D is a pretty fun, sub-1 hour platformer, I'll suggest it over its sequel (tho the sequel is good so if you wanna add both feel free). Klonoa 2 is a baller platformer, sub-7 hours, was great to go through it this year. Tomato Clinic is a cute, 25 minute long or so itch.io game that is free to play.

Without additional comment I will finish off to 5 recommendations with SKYPEACE and Katana ZERO.
