Majora's Mask, ♥♥♥♥ Brutale, and Outer Wilds are among my all-time favorite games. Pocket Watch is not as expansive, as impressive, or as complex as any of those games. It's not as expensive, either. That's why placing Pocket Watch in their ranks makes sense.

I believe this is, without question, the best Time Loop game three dollars can buy. If any of those games had been made with the dev team, budget, and timeline that Pocket Watch had, I'd be shocked if the final product were as cohesive and charming as this one. Honestly, considering it's less than a third of the price of Minit, I'd say it's the better value proposition between them.

The graphics, uh, take some getting used to, the physics aren't flawless (AFAIK you'll need to exploit that for the speedrun), and the fixed camera angle makes some platforming rather finicky. Nevertheless, this was a great little world to inhabit, explore, and conquer. Probably one of Sokpop's best titles, and well worth full price.

Highly recommended.
