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 is $6 on steam right now, it’s one of the few games I would call a masterpiece. I was able to finish it in two sittings, it’s the perfect length and it’s so damn good

    Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is another masterpiece, $4.50 on steam right now, an absolute crime that a game as beautiful as that is that cheap. You gotta make sure you’re wearing headphones when you play it

      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.
