By posting another question here I realized, that I really enjoy games which are 'short' (Play start to finish in around one hour) and have lots of replay value.

My favorites are Street Fighter 2, Contra (NES), Slay the Spire, Guilty Gears, etc.

Any recommendations? I am looking especially for games that are hard but fair and have super tight controls (like Contra)

I would look towards rouguelike/ rouguelite games. Hades, dead cells or binding of isaac for example can be played through in around an hour each, but also have overarching progression systems

Thanks, especially the Castlevania DLC for Dead Cells caught my eyes and there is no excuse not to play it for me! :-)
