10 Awesome 2019 Video Games You Can Beat In One Sitting

10. Wattam

The next game from Keita Takahashi, the creator of cult classic Katamari Damacy, was always going to be strange. Thankfully, Takahashi took all of the best bits of Katamari and gave the world the gift that is Wattam.

Players are dropped into a dark world consisting only of the mayor, a green block with a bowler hat (already a great start). You are tasked with repopulating the world by solving simple puzzles and carrying out tasks for the ever-expanding cast of bizarre characters.

The premise is simple enough but what makes Wattam magnificent are the characters that fill the world, ranging from household items to colourful poop.

Wattam oozes charm. Every little action, from the movement of characters to the puzzles that need to be solved, are beautifully thought out and leave the player feeling both accomplished and satisfied. The design is bold, but not offensively so. Wattam strikes the right balance between eccentricity and garishness to let players build a world that is genuine and sweet.

If Wattam was longer than its roughly 4 hour completion time, the repetitive nature of the gameplay would become taxing.

Instead, Wattam is a beautiful, concise and imaginative world worth exploring.
