these games burn half as long but twice
as bright welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be counting down our picks
for the top 10 awesome games you can
beat in a day before we begin we publish
new content every day so be sure to
subscribe to our Channel and ring the
bell to get notified about our latest
videos for this list we’ll be looking at
some of the best modern games with short
runtimes usually under 6 hours we’re
excluding retro games since there are so
many more short games from the early
days of gaming due to hardware
limitations the urge to stay indoors
although it may look like an RPG from
the Super Nintendo era to the moon is
more of a story focused game based
around to scientists viewing and
altering a dying man’s memories players
must solve puzzles and learn more about
his life to fulfill the man’s lifelong
with this sweet and charming atmosphere
nostalgic graphics and gameplay and a
touching depiction of one man’s life to
the moon is a quick game that were
positively over the moon about number
if her last entry was all about the
story this one is entirely gameplay
driven super hot is a first-person
polygonal action slash puzzle game
that’s based around the premise that
time only moves while the player is
moving this allows the player to stop in
the middle of the action and examine how
best to approach the Det that surrounds
them whether in the form of obstacles or
enemies in most cases the more creative
the solution the cooler the player feels
as the combat calls to mind a scene from
the matrix despite how short it is
number eight Thomas was alone she made a
cape there’s no getting around that you
couldn’t be a superhero without a cape
this deceptively simple platformer sees
the player control a group of shapes
that represent computer programs
including the titular Thomas through a
variety of levels while their actions
are frequently narrated now the chance
of chumps to jump from behind I think
Trish fortunes although much of its
presentation wouldn’t look out of place
in an online flash game Thomas was alone
distinguishes itself with its more
polished look an enchanting soundtrack
as well as its signature narration the
fact that all of this manages to get us
attached to basic shapes is quite the
feat and is reason enough to check this
little title out as they struggle to get
to the next portal John hoped that he
would be the next to get eaten

Monument Valley is a mobile puzzle game
that follows a princess who must
traverse various isometric levels while
overcoming various obstacles with new
techniques introduced each time these
levels are done in a style reminiscent
of MC Escher’s artwork filled with
visual illusions and impossible
architecture anyone who has seen
Escher’s work has no doubt wish to
explore such starkly beautiful and
mind-bending environments and Monument
Valley offers this chance in a short but
rewarding package that’s well worth a
few hours of your time number six
brothers a tale of two sons
[Music]
[Applause]
this puzzle adventure game follows two
brothers on a journey to find a way to
save their ill father although one might
expect it to be co-op with two players
brothers is a single-player game with
both of the eponymous characters
controlled via a different control stick
in tandem which makes for very
challenging gameplay this unique game
mechanic along with the story told in a
fictional language with no subtitles
means the player must look for
non-verbal clues making for a very
engaging experience number 5 undertale a
retro styled RPG undertale follows a
young human caught in an underground
world filled with monsters and odd
creatures which they must overcome one
way or another to return to the surface
the game allows the player to choose
whether to pacify the monsters they
encounter or kill them in a battle
system that directly affects the game’s
outcome and many of its events giving
undertale a great deal of replayability
despite its short length with its unique
style memorable characters in depth
narrative and catchy music undertale is
a game you’re gonna have a good time
with
[Music]
another adventure puzzle game Shadow of
the Colossus tells the story of a young
man who tries to bring his love back
from the dead by killing a group of
giant creatures the game’s simple story
and intuitive gameplay make it very
accessible but the challenge of
discovering each of the Colossus
combines with the beautiful visuals and
environments and the soaring soundtrack
helped make Shadow of the Colossus an
epic experience you can immerse yourself
number three inside few games have
depicted a story quite as effectively
through their gameplay as inside the
player controls a young boy who
traverses a series of haunting and
dangerous locales solving puzzles and
uncovering many disturbing events all
while evading pursuers though we
consider choosing limbo a similar game
made by the same developers ultimately
we decided on inside as we feel that
it’s greater emphasis on storytelling
it’s more impressive visuals and its
higher degree of polish makes it a more
rewarding experience
[Music]
number two portal for what might have
been a glorified physics demo portal is
freaking amazing this game changing
valve titles these players put through a
series of puzzle challenges using a
portal gun players must move items or
themselves to solve conundrums and reach
their goal all at the behest of a
surprisingly snarky AI with a
distinctive voice the portal mechanic
offers a challenging and fun experience
making portal a game that’s short but as
sweet as that promised cake portals
clever puzzles and witty antagonists has
before we get to our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions every kid in the
room turns and just stares like she’s
suddenly transformed into a mutant
number one journey this game joins
inside as one of the best games to tell
jurnee falls a robed character in a
desert as they must traverse their way
towards the light on the mountain the
action is simple and fun while the music
and atmosphere are gorgeous in addition
the ability to meet up with other
players and interaction on verbally with
them is a stroke of genius journey may
not be a long trip but is one well worth
