I don’t think I could pin down a universal number. I really enjoy when a game understands the staying power of its gameplay loop and finishes up before it gets stale.
I’ve got 180 hours into TotK and I’m not sick of it yet because I discover something new every time I play.
Conversely I 100%-ed Dredge in 20 hours and that felt like the exact right amount of time. Any longer and I’d have been sick of it.
Or we can go even lower with something like Untitled Goose Game, which was under 10 hours and also finished up just as it got old.
So yeah. I’m all about the self awareness of a game with regards to the experience. Whatever amount of time that takes is cool with me.
I’m late to the party, but just wanted to say that your list of purchases and recommended to purchase are just monumental lists of games. So many amazing choices.
I want to add two more if you have room.
Psychonauts and Psychonauts 2. They won’t get you as much in the way of epic set pieces, but they are dripping with charm and very well crafted games with some of the most interesting levels I’ve seen.
If it is “Deckard” I hope they fix the current snares with inside-out tracking. Also hope I don’t have to wait two years between EB Games restocks here in Aus.
Inside out is both excellent and awful. But meta fixed the tracking issues by putting inside out tracking on the controllers. Do that and add a depth sensor to the headset and tracking should be damn near perfect.
People suspect its a vr headset, or a vr headset adjacent tech like a more portable (reletively) higher powered pc box to be able to use it while carrying it to be able to do pcvr without being tethered to a standing object.
The only thing that would really need to happen desperately to make it accessibly is to either have a fun and easy to digest primer or to make the language much more layman friendly to start and introduce technical or slang terms as you go.
“There is a sequence of N unsorted and unknown numbers. You can compare, whether any number is greater than any other one by specifying their positions in the sequence. You can swap two numbers, save copies of them on a stash, and replace any number in the sequence with stashed ones. Try to sort the sequence of unknown numbers with as little operations as possible.”
I know what this means, but I had to read it 6 times to get there. Though I think this wouldn’t be task 1.
As someone without an Xbox or a PC, Starfield has very much gotten me back into NMS. Loving the last couple of updates, especially as a PSVR2 player.
I hope I get to play Starfield some day, cause it looks like a lot of fun, but it’s not a hardware seller for me. Probably some day I’ll pick up a gaming laptop or steamdeck or something and check it out along with the other PC games I’ve been missing for the past few years.
I’ve been playing Star Wars: The Old Republic MMORPG on the PC since its inception more than a decade ago and I am still loving it. It’s playable as a solo game (I rarely group up for anything) and there are 8 different character classes, each with their own unique story and missions. It’s very much a typical Bioware product. So YMMV I guess.
