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!

Digital - A Love Story and its not so close successor Hate Plus. These are digital novels. The former is a story set in a cozy 80s BBS network and the other in an archeological space ship retelling stories related to old Korea. Both touched me very much.

Most point and click adventures take about 6-10 hours in my experience. My favorites are the Monkey Island and Deponia games.

Ratchet and Clank (into the) nexus on ps3 is like a 5 hour game. It also nicely ties into the latest game if you've yet to play that

A bit old, but gold: Fate (the dungeon crawler one). It's a bit low-poly by today's standards, but it's so fun and has killer music, lots of spells and weapons, tons of interesting enemies and can be beaten in like 6 hours.

I think Cocoon will fit in 10 hours. It did for me.

The Stanley Parable.

But doesn't that take years to get one of the achievements?

[–] BoastfulDaedra@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 11 months ago

Yep, but specifically not playing it for those years. (Even once. )

As an interesting side effect, it guarantees replay a few years down the road.

Resident Evil 7 & 8. Seven sets a new protagonist in a series reboot sort of way, so you might miss some Easter eggs and callbacks but playing the previous games AT ALL. Its meant to be an entry point in the series.

Here are some short games that I enjoyed: Untitled Goose Game, Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, Donut County, Firewatch, Tangle Tower, Agent A: A Puzzle in Disguise, What Remains of Edith Finch, Spectrum Retreat, Dust: An Elysian Tale
