As the title suggests, this is not a long game. In fact, you can finish it comfortably inside a couple of hours. But don't let that put you off. A Short Hike is hugely entertaining and fun to play, and oozes charm throughout. Amusing dialogue, a beautiful art style, and a rare example of a game that is relaxing to play. Replayability is good too - you'll almost certainly miss things the first time around, and it's also a perfect game for speedrunning if that takes your fancy. Not to be missed.
