8 Amazing RPGs for Time Poor Players
6. Undertale
Undertale is easily the shortest game on this list, given that at the lower end it can be comfortably beaten in just five hours, but what a glorious five hours they are.
Toby Fox's audacious RPG may look like a quaint throwback to the genre's classic 2D offerings of yore, but on a narrative and gameplay level it's anything but.
This is a deeply subversive, postmodern take on RPG tropes that continually upends the player's expectations.
Hilariously weird, at once hypnotic and offputting, and touting a wholly unique approach to combat, Undertale is a game that drips with meticulous craft in every moment, no matter that it was developed for a pittance compared to every other game on this list.
It's often said that brevity is the soul of wit, and Undertale is a peerless expression of this maxim - smart, unexpected, and so concise you can breeze through it in a lazy afternoon.
