A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Best games that can be completed in under ten hours? (lemmy.world)

So this isn't directly related to patientgaming but my hardware and personal tastes kind of filter me to playing games no newer than five years old.

I'm looking for some recommendations for games that can be completed within ten hours. I've realized recently that this is the sweet spot how much I enjoy playing a game before I get bored of it. I'm open to all types of games. Thanks in advance!

Ordered-ish by recommendation:

  • SUPERHOT (it's the most innovative shooter I've played in years)
  • Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
  • Sayonara Wild Hearts
  • Carrion
  • Planet of Lana
  • Jusant
  • The Artful Escape
  • The Gunk

Wait hellblade is under 10 hours? I really gotta knock that out soon

I beat it in two sittings. If I'd started earlier in the day, it could have been one. Highly recommend headphones for it

My playthrough lasted 8.5 hours and was well worth experiencing.

Super Hot was so much fun.

Sayonara Wild Hearts was beautiful and a blast as well.

+2 to SUPERHOT, SUPERHOT is the most innovative shooter I've played in years!

Is Jusant really that short? I think the demo took me 2 hours

[–] NeryK@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Took me five hours start to finish. Not rushing but not trying very hard to find secrets either.

Perfect game pass game that one.
