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!
INSIDE is one of my favorite games of any length
Brothers: A tale of two sons is pretty spectacular and can be finished within a few hours.
World of goo
What Remains of Edith Finch is a game in this category that really left an impression. Would definitely recommend a playthrough.
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
Stranded Sails can’t have been much longer than that.
Braid is deffo under ten.
If you’re good enough, Vanquish.

Funny enough, this was the game that sparked this post. Amazing game, but I eventually lost interest after 23 hours without any sight of the ending. Could just be a skill issue for me for taking so long though, I only wish I was able to experience all of it in a shorter amount of time
I competed it literally yesterday. It took me 28 hours in total and I’d say I had a similar experience to you that I really enjoyed the concept but I wanted it to be finished quite a few hours before I actually completed it. Also, if you made it to the glacier area then you weren’t far from the end.
Brothers - Tale of Two Sons …steampowered.com/…/Brothers_A_Tale_of_Two_Sons_R…
Gamepad required, but pretty dope and short puzzle-ish fantasy adventure about 2 brothers who go on an adventure to get medicine for their father. Bit of a tear jerker. Few hours at most for length. If you’re not into somewhat somber (or downright depressive) subjects, steer clear.
Catquest store.steampowered.com/app/593280/Cat_Quest/
Kinda like topdown zelda-game, but with cats and obscene amounts of cat puns. About 6 hours ish, give or take.
Gunpoint store.steampowered.com/app/206190/Gunpoint/
Scifi-noir puzzle platformer, ish. Basically you infiltrate, steal info, try not to be seen, get out. You climb walls/ceilings, tap into buildings circuits to control doors/lamps/elevaters/whatever to lock/smack guards to avoid detection or downright down them. Absolutely banger electronic/jazzy soundtrack. Bit janky with resolution as it is 2d game, wouldn’t recommend using anything above 720p.
Perspective store.steampowered.com/app/1109410/Perspective/ (free!)
Another puzzle platformer, but the platformer character is separate character from “you”. You move in “fps”, and depending on how you leave the “camera”, that forms the path for the 2d platformer dude. Difficult to explain in brief, but if you check the gameplay video it should clear it up.
