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.

Best games that can be completed in under ten hours? (lemmy.world)

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!

Spec Ops: The Line was a surprise. The name sounds like a B level shooter. Powerful ending.

That's its greatest asset, and its downfall. It looks, sounds, and plays like the most generic "Americans in the middle east fighting brown people" mid 2000s shooter, and it was entirely on purpose. I implore anyone reading this who's at all into third person shooters to stop reading, pick up the game, and pretend you're the target audience of a game called "Spec Ops" while you're playing. It's $6 on steam, it's over a decade old so you can definitely run it, and it takes like 8 hours to beat.

And pay attention to the loading screen tips, especially in the latter half of the game.

You’re 💯 right.
