For most of us, speedrunning is a kind of forbidden art in the world of the game, something we watch in amazement on YouTube, and then return to our normal lives afterwards. When players are able to complete games that should take dozens of hours, it will be very interesting to watch.
But that doesn’t mean there aren’t games you can try in speed racing. In fact, there are plenty of games that casual players can finish in less than ten minutes, without having to be a super control.
This may sound crazy, and it is, but it makes sense. Not all games have the complex system of shortcuts you need to complete a perfect round, and it’s often nice to see casual players approaching peak times as they speed up finish some games.
Some games require hours of luck, focus and skill to get as close to the fastest race time as possible. Some of them just want you to run to the nearest town and help take down an old wizard.
10. Away Home
Although Gone Home has an interesting story, it has received some well-deserved criticism for its hasty completion.
Since the final area of the game is located in the part of the house you start the game in, if you know your way around quickly you can complete the game in less than a minute with a chance, just by picking up your sister’s letter and playing the closing cutscene of the game.
Although it’s fun to start and finish the game in close quarters, it’s understandable that many players felt that progress in the game wasn’t worth it because that’s already the case to some extent.
But it also means you can easily brag about your best time in Gone Home speedruns, because all you have to do is run as fast as you can to reach that message. As long as you don’t explain the finer details, it will be impressive but quickly become uninteresting when explained.
9. Lufia II: Rise Of The Sinistrals
I’m not sure how to say this so let’s be serious for a moment: you can finish Lufia II in just 52 seconds. Not minutes, but seconds. This is not a joke. You’ve probably finished Lufia II at least once in the time it’s taken you to read this.
But only if you are willing to use tricks, something you have already thought about. Without going into too much detail, you do this by manipulating the menus in the first room you appear in, allowing you to mess around with it. ‘ game to the point where it prompts the last conversation in the game, prompting the game to the closing cut and wrap things up in less than a minute.
If you want to finish the game with a speedrun in a less rule-breaking way, you can do that too, but it will take about an hour even if you’re good. So, it’s faster and probably more fun to choose the path that has a little cheat to victory.
8. Celeste Classic
It is worth clarifying now that there is a big difference between the new version of Celeste and the classic version and the main difference is that the classic version can be completed in less than two minutes if you have amazing skills , while Celeste takes about half an hour. even if you are the best player in the world.
This is because the Classic version has fewer screens, and each screen is smaller, as most levels can be completed in about five jumps even if they have to move through the levels in ways that were not intended.
These jumps hardly require you to learn where to jump and when to jump, but it’s worth the effort to finish a game that should have taken about half an hour in nine or ten of that time.
It’s not a simple speed race, because it requires you to improve your parkour skills to a precise level. But after a few tries, most people can at least give it a real try. Even if you mess up, it’s just free practice for the next attempt.
7. Evacuation
Considering that Oblivion is a game that many have put hundreds of hours into, just the thought that you can finish it in less than ten minutes is amazing.
However, those ten minutes are some of the craziest minutes of gameplay you will ever see in your life. Since the boot mission traditionally takes more than ten minutes to complete, you should instead break the chains using the “quick save” glitch, killing all the assassins that come your way the king, and then hit him to make him and his guards follow you, because some doors in this area only open when they are close to her.
And that’s not the end of the strange stuff, you go from here to the Imperial City Temple District, because for some completely inexplicable reason the developers left a secret entrance to the final area of the game behind the door of the Temple of the One.
Wait a few hours, and Martin will appear, because you have confused the game so much that the game assumes that you did everything legitimately. Press it into the appropriate area, and it will play the last lines of dialogue in the game, making it now possible to finish the game in about five minutes.
6. Nuclear Throne
Nuclear Throne feels like it was designed for fast-paced gameplay. When you play the game as fast as you can, without stopping to shoot and quickly pick up boosters and bullets, the game becomes more intense and interesting.
While this is somewhat luck-based as weapons and levels are largely randomly generated, a large part depends on how well you shoot while avoiding the so many bullets heading towards you.
Results vary widely in how long it takes to complete the game, but as long as you are willing to excel and don’t stop to shoot for even a minute, the game can be completed in easy in ten minutes or less.
It may take a couple of tries, but once you get the feel of the game and play it at full speed, it will be a fun and fast experience.
