spoilers for ZeroRanger and Void Stranger
IMO it’s not as egregious in Void Stranger since so much of the progression is knowledge based. Once you know how the game works, you can blast through a full run on like 30 minutes. I suppose the same is true for ZeroRanger. ~225 levels is too many, though.
An expanded remake of Pirates would go so hard, they really nailed the atmosphere but you’ve played basically the whole game in five hours. Hell, I bet an indie dev could make a bigger and better pirate game in the same style.
