The last two main games I have been playing are Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain and Assassin’s Creed Syndicate.  Neither of these are short.  So it was nice to finish a game in one sitting.  I played this game as the sun was coming up in the morning (work involves a mixture of day and night shifts) and it leant a bit more atmosphere to the game.

Refunct is a first person platformer.  I don’t want to go into much more detail as the game is quite short.  Not that it’s a bad kind of short.  While I could have happily played for a bit longer, it was nice to not see mechanics repeated just for the sake of making the game longer.  I finished it in half an hour, but it only costs £1.99.  So it will last you the length of a pint and cost half as much.

There is a nice minimalist design to the graphics and presentation.  There aren’t even any tutorials which is a nice touch as you are just left to play in the world.  The only thing I found odd with the game was a low mouse sensitivity, even when I cranked it up.  Then I tried a 360 pad and it stopped being an issue.

All together (it has really nice music too) its a great way to spend some time.
