11 Incredible Video Games You Can Finish Under An Hour

4. Flower

The second game from the genius mind of Jenova Chen - who would go on to make Journey and Sky: Children of the Light, thatgamecompany's titles aren't always for everyone at first sight, but there's something about their gameplay systems and occasional multiplayer integration, that makes them truly unique and recommendable as hell.

In Flower's case, you're literally playing the life of a shrivelled flower on a shelf, controlling a gust of wind that pollinates various flowers in flashback with an assortment of seeds.

Yes, it's as self-indulgent run-for-the-hills indie game premise as they come, but play Flower and you can't help but fall in love with it.

That super short runtime helps, and there's something about willing all this luscious wildlife into being through a control scheme that apes most flight games, that brings it all together.
