Five hours is fast, but the reason to look at this one is that the atmosphere is intact. Whoever directed it was making judgement calls about temperature rather than just asking for a 3D game, and the result reads as authored.
It is the clearest evidence in this set that the useful skill has moved. Most of the work is now knowing what you want it to feel like.
