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!

If you're good enough, Vanquish.

What Remains of Edith Finch is a game in this category that really left an impression. Would definitely recommend a playthrough.

Portal, Hyperbolica

Brothers: A tale of two sons is pretty spectacular and can be finished within a few hours.

Obvious choice, but, Portal 1&2

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.

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

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

Stranded Sails can't have been much longer than that.

Braid is deffo under ten.

Klondike solitaire 😁.

Castlevania: SOTN once you know a couple of thing about grinding faster.

Super Mario RPG can be wolluped in 20. If you go hard, I bet you can do it in 10.

Pretty fun and rather full of Easter eggs if you want to keep at it.

Hollowknight!

It seems I was mistaken
