I played Star Fox 64 back in the day, used to love it btw, its been awhile so I might be remembering things the wrong way, but I think there was tons of rethreading the same areas to unlock the extra levels and get to the real end boss. |
Nope. There were three totally different paths. The levels are not the same, planets are different. You only repeat Corneria, which is the first planet. And even in the first level, you get to a totally different boss (I've just beaten it last week so I know what I'm talking :P). Even so, you can beat StarFox 64 in about 5/6 hours with all the planets without almost any backtracking. Then you have the option to try and beat all the planets with a high record, so you unlock all the medals and unlock hardcore mode, but this, yeah, it takes backtracking. It was like those arcade games that you want to give your best and try to beat your own records. Obviously, this game is a 2016 game so it's fitting that at least you can play all the levels in around 10 hours. That's the game's length. You could also "beat" SM3DW in 6 hours, but once you beat it you unlock a lot of different levels. It's not comparable to the linear games you mentioned, because they totally lack any replayability to unlock anything new, so they lack any exploration and it's just linearity for about 6 hours, and then?
