Though funny enough, that game has more content and replayability than Abzu. I don't want to remember that.wretched company anymore. Ugh, don't remind me of that Ground Zero thing. Side note, Journey and Flower both fall into the one to two hour ranges.

Before it revolved around $60 games being the norm, now with F2P titles becoming better and smaller indie titles popping in, people's view of what makes a game worth buying is changing. I think we as gamers are currently going through an odd transition when it comes to pricing. However when I did the review for Abzu, I still factor in the price in my review but I should have mention it's an hour to two hours in length. I was in the same boat a few years back when Metal Gear Solid forced a $40 price tag on a twenty minute game. or are they also this short? Been a while since I played them. I think Journey and Flower are way longer than Abzu, and those are only like 3 - 4 hours long. Sure the journey and story is interesting, but why spend $20 on those if the gameplay is minimal and they're finished after 1 or 2 hours? Much better to just watch these games on youtube and save that money, you don't miss anything because you pretty much have seen the whole game without paying! This is the same case with "walking simulator" games, like Gone Home, or the Path, or Layers of Fear, or the Park. Or I rather tell people to see what this game is about on youtube for free. I would recommend this game totally, if it's $5 -10. Lots of reviewers gave this game like 9 or 8 but they don't even say how long the game is! There are people, like myself, that wants a longer game out of $20 no matter how awesome the game is.

But it'll be nice to mention the game's length in the review. I try to factor that in when I do a review but at the end of the day it is up to the gamer whether they think it's worth it. The tricky part is determining whether something earns it's price tag. Sometimes having a game too long ruins what makes it great.
