: "50 Games Like" aims to be a weighted-category based games recomendation engine. Just based on ''A Short Hike'', it lists [https://www.50gameslike.com/games-like/a-short-hike these games]. But that's based on ''all'' the categories ''A Short Hike'' is in ("cute", "adventure", "exploration", etc.). If you just want "short" games, you click on just the category button and it gives you [https://www.50gameslike.com/best-games-by-type/short short games in all genres] (which aren't like ''A Short Hike'', except in shortness). Subjectively, it looks more useful than Steam's recommendation engine, which gives me some fairly bonkers suggestions ("you liked FTL, so you might like Doom Eternal"). -- [[User:Finlay McWalter|Finlay McWalter]]'''··–·'''[[User talk:Finlay McWalter|Talk]] 19:40, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
:Finlay's answer is excellent, but I can't help mention that the original ''[[Portal (video game)|Portal]]'' game is both famously short and considered one of the best games of all time. If shortness is the prime criteria, you could do worse. But apart from the duration, it's nothing like ''A Short Hike''.

::Guess that means that ''A Short Hike'' is unique in its shortness, cosiness, and adventure. ''[[Lil Gator Game]]'' is quite close in terms of layout and that the player can climb but idk about its length since I haven't played the latter, but have played the former. I was mostly focusing on shortness, hence the title of the discussion. [[User:JuniperChill|JuniperChill]] ([[User talk:JuniperChill|talk]]) 19:37, 20 August 2025 (UTC)
