What do you think is a good required completion time for video games? What examples come to mind of games that felt just right? angielski

I don’t have a minimum, and my maximum is negotiable. I’ve played <5 hour games that felt too long, and >50 hour games that felt too short.

I generally shoot for 20-30 hours, but that’s because it seems like a sweet spot where most games with tons of filler are longer. I actually have a category for short games, because sometimes the 2-3 hour experience is what I’m looking for.

I actually have a category for short games, because sometimes the 2-3 hour experience is what I’m looking for.

Can you provide an example?

Some that I’ve played:

• Gorogoa
• Raven’s Hike
• Klocki
• A Juggler’s Tale
• Donut County
• Chronology
• Golf Club Wasteland
• Portal
• Aer
• Oxenfree
• Titan Souls
• Ittle Dew
• Doki Doki Literature Club
• Thoth
• Nuts
• 140
• Limbo
• What Remains of Edith Finch
• INSIDE

Those were all around 5 hours or less, in rough order from shorter to longer (just pulled up my Steam games by playtime). I have a few more on my list that I haven’t played yet but are likely about that length if you want more. :)

Journey and A Short Hike should go on that list too

Yup, both are on my list of games to play.

Thanks for the list. I was recently playing Limbo because it’s on the PS Vita and I know Doki Doki Literature Club is as well so maybe I’ll play that next. I also heard good things about Oxenfree before so maybe I’ll pick that up at some point.

I am definitely saving this for later.

Wholly dependent on the game. Lots of Indies feel like decent, self contained games ranging from 3-8 hours of gameplay. Gris, Inside, Abzu, Thomas Was Alone, etc.
