Seriously you really do not know a thing about metroidvanias. Metroidvanias in general can be completed in under 5 hours and less if you know what you're doing and can preform the tricks and shortcuts to doing so but the main point is exploration even if is "aimlessly depring around"(which is the fun of the genre)Īlso you're the same person who made a thread whining about losing geo when dying and asking for a save anywhere feature then running away when people explain to you why that's a nonsensical idea for this kind of game.

Yes the game can be completed in under 5 hours, it's optional and not required and more for a fun thing than a must like you try to say it is. Yet you also ignore the fact that only 1.3% of players even have that speedrun 2 achievement and 1.7% with the speedrun 1 achievementĪlso achievements have been proven to never be a viable source of info on a game's stats.Īlso way to ignore the fact that multiple of the achievements encourage exploring and multiple playthroughs So that's not actually part of the game length. That process wastes of a lot of time by causing you to have to constantly keep re-treading over the same ground which you've already been to. You still gotta have the built up practice to do the platforming and combat, that sure takes up a lot of the time too.Ĭonsequently, the game forces you aimelessly to derp around the world until you happen to stumble upon the correct place you are supposed to be based on the items you currently have. However, that's not what the OP is asking for.Īlso yes, the game makes you explore and revisit areas, it's a Metroidvania game. Technically, if you're "speedrunning" you can beat the game in under 30 minutes. That process wastes of a lot of time by causing you to have to keep re-treating over the same ground which you've already been to. No, that's because the you don't know where to go or what items need to bypass obstacles that prevent you from progressing, or where exactly to go to use which particular items on which particular obstacles that they bypass.Ĭonsequently, the game forces you aimelessly to derp around the world until you happen to stumble upon the correct place you are supposed to be based on the items you currently. Yes, you can spend a lot more time in the game than 5 hours. Originally posted by Dragon:I must call BS on all the assertions in this thread that say HK is a long game.

So basically, that's official confirmation that it's a 5 hour game, as by publishing that Achievement, the devs officially endorsed the idea that it can and should be beaten under 5 hours. There are Achievements for this game that objectively prove that it isn't, but rather that it's extremely short. I must call BS on all the assertions in this thread that say HK is a long game.
