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!
I also love short-ish games, so hopefully one of these strikes your fancy. You didn’t specify a preferred genre or other games you liked, so I’m going to just throw some out there:
Adventure/Puzzle
Puzzle
ARPG/Souls-like
Narrative heavy
Metroidvania
Point and Click
AAA/high production value
I have more, just let me know what you like and I can try to give more recs.
I love that game.
Me too! I also highly recommend:
Gone Home - explore your old home to learn everyone’s secrets
Gone Home was good, yes!
I feel like it generates way more of a spooky atmosphere, too. I honestly thought I was playing a horror game for the first half, before I finally realized it wasn’t going to jump scare me and I could relax.
In a similar vein, The Suicide Of Rachel Foster is a decent experience. It’s not nearly as good, to be clear, but it’s worth playing imo. It’s much creepier, however.
Dear Esther was similar, but less of a game and more of an audio visual experience. Some I haven’t played yet:
I just finished Deaths Door and it was a very enjoyable game to play on the go or in bed (steamdeck). Took me about 17 hours to finish it.
