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!

Ratchet and Clank (into the) nexus on ps3 is like a 5 hour game. It also nicely ties into the latest game if you've yet to play that

I managed to complete disco elysium in under 25hrs if your up for the challenge you can try and beat my record

Resident Evil 7 & 8. Seven sets a new protagonist in a series reboot sort of way, so you might miss some Easter eggs and callbacks but playing the previous games AT ALL. Its meant to be an entry point in the series.

Digital - A Love Story and its not so close successor Hate Plus. These are digital novels. The former is a story set in a cozy 80s BBS network and the other in an archeological space ship retelling stories related to old Korea. Both touched me very much.

Been a while since I’ve last played but I wanna say Earthbound.

A bit old, but gold: Fate (the dungeon crawler one). It's a bit low-poly by today's standards, but it's so fun and has killer music, lots of spells and weapons, tons of interesting enemies and can be beaten in like 6 hours.

I think Cocoon will fit in 10 hours. It did for me.

What remains of Edith Finch, a very emotional and wonderful game, short and bitter sweet.

I'd go so far to even gift it to people. Outer Wilds make you feel small and huge at the same time.

Opus: The Day We Found Earth, another great short one.

Most point and click adventures take about 6-10 hours in my experience. My favorites are the Monkey Island and Deponia games.

I finished Capcom's Remember Me in just under 10 hours. I actually played through the whole thing in one sitting. It was a really fun game. I think about it a lot

Neon beats is a really short that can be finished in much under 10 hours. I love it and replay it every now and then

[-] franglais@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Obvious choice, but, Portal 1&2

Take a look at Contrast, a 5 hours narrative platforming game with pretty visuals an concept

Spec Ops: The Line is $6 on steam right now, it's one of the few games I would call a masterpiece. I was able to finish it in two sittings, it's the perfect length and it's so damn good

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is another masterpiece, $4.50 on steam right now, an absolute crime that a game as beautiful as that is that cheap. You gotta make sure you're wearing headphones when you play it

Cultic!

I think it will be longer eventually when more chapters get added, but right now it clocks in at about 6 hours I think. Well worth the money.
