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!

What Remains of Edith Finch - explore your old home to learn everyone’s secrets

I love that game.

Me too! I also highly recommend:

Gone Home - explore your old home to learn everyone’s secrets

Gone Home was good, yes!

I feel like it generates way more of a spooky atmosphere, too. I honestly thought I was playing a horror game for the first half, before I finally realized it wasn't going to jump scare me and I could relax.

In a similar vein, The Suicide Of Rachel Foster is a decent experience. It's not nearly as good, to be clear, but it's worth playing imo. It's much creepier, however.

Dear Esther was similar, but less of a game and more of an audio visual experience. Some I haven't played yet:

Before Your Eyes
Vanishing of Ethan Carter
