I actually did play it for like 150 hours so I got quite a bit of playtime out of it but I really hit a WALL with what I felt like I could do with the game, I was just completely done with it afterwards and I don't think I'll ever return to it (maybe after like 10 years or something). Like, it was a good game and I enjoyed it a lot, and the good aspects of the game will stick with me for a while, but it never quite hit that next level for me.
Yeah, I kinda agree with this. Although honestly, the gameplay was satisfying enough to keep me hooked, and I kept pushing to constantly improve my times and push the heat up, until the game became a little less fun at around the 30 heat/120 hour barrier and I've just never had reason to go back. I'd already unlocked literally everything at that point, so I was just done, but 120 hours is a very, very good number out of what's intended to be a short-ish game. Games like this which just feel inherently satisfying are always the ones which keep me wanting to play more. I think intrinsic motivation is definitely what keeps me going in games, rather than actual in-game progression. That said, more variety and more lategame progression in the sequel would be very welcome.
