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!

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.

Dave the Diver has lost me at about 8-10 hours. I detest doing chores for underwater people.

The game is entirely too wide and too shallow: it has too much in it but very little depth. Kind of ironic.
