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)

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup is the definition of tough but fair for me. It's a turn based game though, so not much controls to speak of. In fact because it traces it's lineage back to the 90s it's kind of clunky. But since it's turn based you can pick up and drop any time you want. Depending on my luck and skills a run lasts from 5 seconds (lol) to an hour ish.
