We need more lists like this. As a 40 year old gamer with two remote jobs and a family to maintain, I have learned to really appreciate short but great game experiences, including even shorter games like To the Moon, Gris, Hot Line Miami or Benva which I find amazing. As a JRPG fan myself, I can understand games of certain genres can take 100 hours or more just to complete the main story, but I utterly HATE that nowadays every big studio out there want to pad their AAA games to make them about 60 hour in length and even worse try to use that atrociously artificial length to advertise their game, as if gamers only care about the hours of gameplay we can get from a 60/70usd game. I can invest that time on a game that's actually fun and interesting to play, but not on a game with 300 identical side quests just for the sake of trying to justify the price tag.
@turismofoegaming8806

I completely agree, and I also just want to say that whenever again is exceptionally good, it doesn’t need to artificially pad the length because people are going to go back and play it again again, and again and again! Games like fighting games for all the fighting fans like Tekken & Soul Calibur and Gran Turismo and AssettoCorsa.. yeah I know that racing games and stuff like that usually don’t make a list like this but, games, like grand theft, auto and back in the day games like driver, and all of the resident, evil and Dino crisis type games, silent hill, all of these were games that I still go back to and play today because they were so good, because they are so good- Couldn’t tell you how many hundreds of hours I put into each grand Turismo game from 1998 until now, each individual game?!?! I know it’s a lot!

Transistor, Limbo, Shadow of the Colossus and other similar experiences in 2023 have stayed in the mind far longer than the usual Ubisoft side-quest-athon, and at the very least you can actually finish them in a few weeks with minimal spare time.

I think in 2018 called “mutant year zero Road to Eden” I found it to be one of the most fun strategy games I had played since fire emblem, and I beat it in about 20 hours or less… Fully Voice-acted characters, and a very unique and interestingly told story, the government was genetically modifying humans with animal DNA to try to create super soldiers and things went wrong and the apocalypse happened… NO… not that, never?!?!

Man, Dead Space Remake really deserves more love. Not that RE4 Remake and Alan Wake 2 aren't both fantastic titles in their own ways, but Dead Space nails exploration more than either of those, and also has some truly amazing gore that improves the limb-cutting that makes the series' combat so great. Also, Gunnar Wright remains utterly fantastic in the role of Isaac, and I'm glad that he got to officially fill that role in the story of the first game now. It really feels like it gets overlooked just because of how early in the year it came out. It may not be a speedrunner's dream like RE4 Remake, and doesn't have the storytelling chops of Alan Wake 2, but it's the best the Dead Space series has ever been.

@@devd3l I honestly think DS2 holds up so well that remaking it would do more harm than good, especially with how great the writing and acting are in it already (especially for Isaac, Stross, and Ellie). It also already has a "seamless" world in terms of having no loading between levels, and similar improvements to kinesis and the weapon upgrades like what we got in the DS1 remake. I agree that a new game in the franchise would be a good idea, though I also kind of want a full retcon of Dead Space 3. It was such a step backwards from DS2 and did so many stupid things with the characters that I would much rather see a new followup to DS2 that ignores DS3 and goes a different direction. Whatever the case, Motive definitely seem to understand the best things about the series, and I'm hoping that whatever they do with it next turns out great.

Broooooo i first played plague tale early last year and i was surprised at how the story kept me going and then BOOM i got covid and had to take off work right when the sequel came out so i played it immediately. Theyre both great if you want a chill game with a great story but i was totally grateful for the more combat selection options you had in the 2nd one.

Mafia remake was absolutely amazing. Loved playing through the definitive edition. Phantom Liberty expansion for cyberpunk was also not to long and was a ton of fun to play (I think it’s honestly better than cyberpunk base😂, almost finished the main story but phantom is awesome)

Personally i can't trust these official time estimates, i have played every single game on this list and took at least 30% longer for me to beat them the first time. I never play games in a rush though.

Me too. I start thinking I'm just slow sometimes, but if I like a game I really start looking around at everything. Like a kid in a candy store lol. And that's just the exploratory aspect. If graphics intrigue me, that's a whole other aspect of looking around lol.

Some of what I consider to be the best, most iconic games ever (not just nostalgia, though they are definitely full of that, too, which I consider a good thing) were well-under ten hours: games like the PS2 Spider-Man 2, Sonic Heroes (I know the controls could be considered wild, but that’s kind’a the appeal, I always thought: it gives a real feeling of speed and the power, sometimes challenging-to-direct power, of it), and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. They were just a different style of game: one with soul, hard-hitting and elegant at the once-they were not short, for ten hours is a time, but it was the solid span that provoked thought and drew up sentiment in the spirit. Beautiful experiences, I say! 😊 While the fifty-plus hour game has its own wonderful place, I honestly wish the gaming scene saw even more ten-hour-or-less, smaller but more intense experiences, like it once did, and that story, rather than just good graphics, was honed more finely and more often, once again, and brought to bear with its full might. Videos like this warm my heart, because they show that there is still a desire for that, and that such games are still being made, at least on some level. Someone once said that stories are little pieces of the soul, and I think that’s what was most appealing about games of that kind. 😁

I also really love when narrative-focused games are around 10 hours, give or take, because more often than not it shows that the story is not padded out and is the right length it needs to be. Some of my favourite single-player games that take around 10 hours (or slightly more) to beat: Half Life 2, Detroit: Become Human, Heavy Rain, pretty much most Telltale games (I'd recommend to start with Walking Dead season 1), and some lesser known games - State of Mind, Mars: War Logs, Dry Drowning, Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments, Mage's Initiation: Reign of the Elements.

New game plus has been around since super mario bros came out at least. Chrono trigger coined the term in 1995 and mastered it. By the time ratchet came out plenty of games did a great job with it in some form or another. Especially games made by Japanese companies.

Thank you. We older gamers with jobs & families tend to get a bit overlooked by studios. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy playing "regular" games, for eg., I enjoyed Zelda TotK, & am now playing RE4 remake & like it a lot. However, it's hard to find time to game. So, it's nice if a title is short & sweet, & enables me to roll credits over the occasional free weekend.

I highly recommend Dead Space Remake if someone has played it or heard of it. High, high quality and changes just the right things if you have played the original Dead Space. Very immersive, moody, smooth gameplay and good story. You should really try it for those who like a polished third person horror game.

Two indie games DEFINITELY worth mentioning and playing even more are: - Stray (Annapurna Interactive) - Death’s Door (Acid Nerve) Two often overlooked gems that you can complete in a couple of hours or even one sitting. Just be warned for Stray as I can tell you, you don’t want this game to come to an end as you’re going to be highly invested emotionally if you like cats or have a heart for animals in general. You will be up for an emotional rollercoaster with this game but it absolutely worth it! Such an amazing game, it’s astounding!

Arkham City is actually the shortest main campaign of the series, not Asylum. But factoring in the side missions and ludicrous amount of Riddler stuff, the playtime becomes substantially longer that 100% completing Arkham Asylum.

I'm happy you mentioned Metro, they were the first thing I thought of when I saw the title. Amazing games, well worth a play and they usually end up going on sale pretty often where you can normally get the entire trilogy for like $10 or if you only want the original 2 shorter ones it ends up being like $4 to get both games.

Mafia (1) blew my mind. I bought it discounted on a whim and loved it so much. My wife even enjoyed watching me play parts of it and spoke with a 30s gangster accent for weeks when it finished! We both even audibly gasped at the ending. One of the best story games I’ve ever played. 10/10 an absolute must play if you like story games!
