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!

    Outer wilds. It can be longer for some but finishing it in a single sitting or two it hits best. A deep emotional experience that you can only ever truly experience truly the first time. So avoid spoilers at all costs.

    Also Firewatch

      Was gonna say Outer Wilds as well. It’s such an amazing experience and kind of made me rethink what video games can be as art and just… an experience. Can be finished really quick though for me it took a good chunk of time.

      I’ll also reiterate, don’t look up spoilers. The game is so much about exploration and discovery that going in blind is best.

        It truly is something special. Every time it’s on sale I end up buying a key and giving it to somebody I know just so they can experience it.

          Sometimes I feel a bit silly with how much and how often I recommend this game, but it truly is something special.

          I got the soundtrack on vinyl just recently and listening to it is like microdosing the game.

              Those Eelis videos gives me life. I went and watched the entire About Oliver play through after seeing the highlights.
