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!

Hollow knight is a great game, but it’s also not remotely close to a <=10 hour long game.

Really? I finished my first run in under 10 hours. Of course I went back and spent 200 hours doing everything I missed but it's definitely completable in under 10 hours depending on how you play

Don't you have to beat it in under 10 hours for the first speed run achievement? HowLongToBeat says 27 hours for just the main story; 41.5 hours for main + sides. If you managed under 10 hours on your first run, you must be a serious metroidvania veteran.

Well that much is true, I probably should have taken that into account
