(By game size he means scope of the game and huge open world maps, not game install size)

One of the most egregious cases for me was Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. There was stuff for 40 hours aplenty, yet I spent most of those 40 hours killing the same goons over and over but with a different number over their heads, which meant I needed to spent more time in doing so.

If they had just aimed at making a memorable 30 or so hours, it would have been way better. This experience made me stop playing any Assassin’s whatever games.

Opposite to this, there was “Still Wakes the Deep”, which is a rather short but plentiful game.

I haven’t played Still Wakes the Deep, but Indika was that smaller game for me this year, and I’d highly recommend it.

“Indika, a nun looking to adjust to a monastic life. The twist in the tale comes in the form of her companion: she has a connection with the Devil himself”

Oh wow, with that summary count me in!

You have no idea. The opening moments of that game are surprising, even with that blurb and my recommendation, lol.
