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.

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!

Metal Gear Rising Revengeance

It has zero filler, it's wall to wall balls to the wall nonstop action

you might exceed the ten hours slightly if you're bad like me and get stuck in the final boss for two hours but otherwise it's perfect

Play with the volume up. Your ears will thank you.

Seriously. For every thread that mentions this game, there is someone shouting "RULES OF NATURE!".

Half an hour in, you will understand why. And you will know why this game absolutely slaps.

very much this, the soundtrack became my soundtrack for work for like two years

every boss theme would be the best boss theme in any other game, but here they are just one of many

It's not just that the soundtrack itself slaps, but also the way they use it, the audio design of the game is absolutely masterful.

It knows exactly when to do things like drop the vocals for maximum effect, and the instrumentations reflect the themes the game itself deliberately conveys.
