We know that certain games are big, like BG3 or Persona 5. But recently games like FF7 rebirth and Indiana Jones just kept going on and on past "Act 3". Also Rise of the Golden Idol seemed a little short to me

Are developers getting more efficient with generating content?

The Talos Principle. After a short bit in the game, you go to a hub area that goes to other areas like the one you just came from. Eventually, you find out that there is another hub area above this which leads to other hub areas. I didn't remember if there is another layer on top of that, but either way, once I hit that second hub layer, I remember realizing that the entire game was multiple times larger than I had thought, and I had no way to know if it would expand again when I made it to the next area.

The Talos Principle was such a great game! I think I'll play it again before buying part 2

My wife and I each 100%'d Talos 2 and it was abundantly amazing. It had been years since either of us completed 1 but the way the story is structured you hear about the events of the first game in detail pretty regularly. I'm trying to be vague for spoilers. And of course I'm not trying to talk out of replaying 1, but just know you don't have to, understand 2, and in my opinion it might be a touch tedious to do them back to back.

Both fantastic games tho that started a lot of good conversations between us.

There’s a remaster coming out early next year! I’m planning on doing the same when that comes out
