Games that Takes a Long Time to Play

You may not have heard of or considered this game, but it should take you about 25 hours to complete. If you're rushing through everything or actually exploring without skipping cutscenes and side tasks. And, oddly, "Sherlock Holmes Chapter One" reverses previous "Sherlock Holmes" games by presenting an open environment that doesn't appear to make sense for a "Sherlock Holmes" game. But here, you may actively explore, research hints, immerse yourself in the scene, and discover some extremely interesting side quests. It's one of those games with intriguing side quests that you'll want to investigate. With this younger Sherlock Holmes, they're attempting to create a fresh mood. He's exploring a Mediterranean island and the city of Cordona back in the day. The fighting is a little unusual, but these "Sherlock Holmes" games are vastly underappreciated and excellent, and "Chapter One" is a nice place to start if you're looking for a new one to get into.

Loop Hero

Developer: Four Quarters
Genre: Indie, Strategy, Adventure

This is a really strange indie game that takes approximately 35 hours to complete on average. You're in a world that's caught in a never-ending time loop, and it's essentially like an old school style, but card-based system where you dole out cards to build out dungeons and regions for a little hero to walk through, and it can be very addictive. Many people regard this as one of those idle clicker games, such as a cookie clicker, but we find it to be a little more fascinating here. And, while it may be a passive experience, it is also quite absorbing, and you might easily lose track of time immersing yourself in it. It's incredible. It's unique, one-of-a-kind.

Far Cry 6

Developer: Ubisoft, Ubisoft Toronto
Genre: First-Person Shooter, Action-Adventure

Because it's a "Far Cry" game, this is one of the more apparent ones on the list. It's a large open world teeming with side missions, items to gather, and activities to do, and your time is flexible. But, you know, when you're playing a "Far Cry" game, you're going to be spending a lot of time. This game takes about 35 hours to complete on average, but you may easily get a lot more out of it because Yara is a really intriguing tropical region with a major metropolis and dozens of diverse tiny places. Granted, it's all in a tropical atmosphere, but they manage to mix it up here and there, and it's well worth a look. This one could be worth trying out, especially if you've grown tired of the "Far Cry" concept. This one could be entertaining enough to entice you back into it.

Returnal

Developer: Housemarque
Genre: Third-Person Shooter, Adventure

A game that, as much as people enjoy it, hasn't received enough widespread attention. And it's possible that this is due to its distinct structure, style, and overall run-based gameplay. Perhaps it's the difficulty. So, the average time to win "Returnal" is approximately 30 hours, but this will truly rely on, I don't know, how talented you are or how long it takes you to properly comprehend the game's features. If you like to go at your own pace. "Returnal" is a difficult game. The bosses may be rather ferocious. The die and reset method may not suited for everyone. However, what you get is a highly addicting experience. You'll find yourself thinking, "Ooh, just one more run," because the third-person shooting, shoot 'em up, bullet hell type gameplay is so wonderful, but you're also attempting to solve this cool, intergalactic sci-fi mystery along the way. So, although it's not an 80-hour "Horizon Zero Dawn" or a million-hour "Skyrim," you can pour a lot of time into "Returnal" and it'll all be very gratifying.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

Developer: Owlcat Games
Genre: RPG, Adventure, Fantasy

The average time to finish this game is roughly 120 hours, assuming you complete the main objective and the bulk of the side missions, which you will almost probably do, and you will almost certainly grind through a lot of it because the game can be rather difficult. This accounts for part of the duration, but the primary reason is because it's just one of those massive isometric RPGs. Massive areas, a wealth of amusing discussions, enjoyable side actions to accomplish, several methods to grow your character, and things to explore. This game has a plethora of exciting features. Aside from the gameplay, "Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous" is definitely worth checking out if you like huge old fantasy RPGs and you prefer them a little bit more autonomous, especially because it'll keep you occupied for quite a long. Most likely the most of any game on this list.

Lost Judgment

Developer: Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, Sega
Genre: Fighting, Action-Adventure

This game takes about 50 hours to complete on average, and if you've played the original game to which this is a sequel, "Judgment," you'll understand how complex it is. These are, of course, "Yakuza" spinoff games, which are also quite complicated. And what you get is a wonderful universe full of characters to savage and mysteries to discover. These games, of course, walk an astonishing tightrope between fun, action, brawler-style gameplay, Japanese soap opera, melodrama, and just plain funny lunacy. You can really get anything you want out of these types of games, and "Lost Judgment" brings a lot of it, including new, interesting, and compelling side quests that will take you a long time to complete, a whole interactive high school to explore with its own sub-quest system to check out, and an interesting, compelling, and more personal story this time around. Not to mention an entirely new combat technique. "Lost Judgment" is incredibly fantastic, and even if you've never played any of the games from this company, "Lost Judgment" is a great place to start.

Shin Megami Tensei V

Developer: Atlus
Genre: Role-Playing, Adventure, Strategy

It takes an average of 63 hours to finish this one. "Shin Megami Tensei V" embraces the fact that game runs on current technology, making everything appear larger and better. And a lot of that duration is due to good old-fashioned JRPG gameplay, which is truly comfort food for certain people. And, you know, the very distinct Tokyo that they have here is a terrific setting for exploration. These games have a particular taste, especially if you've played the "Persona" titles, but even if you haven't played the "Shin Megami Tensei" games, you're sure to find a lot to like here. This is a solid starting point, and you'll find yourself spending a lot of time into this one on your Nintendo Switch as you explore and bounce between various different biomes, gradually building out these specialized teams and gathering stuff. It was a fantastic year for JRPGs, and "Shin Megami Tensei V" is without a doubt one of them.

NEO: The World Ends with You

Developer: Square Enix
Genre: Role-Playing, Action

This time, everything is completely 3D, which means there's a lot more to do. It takes an average of 48 hours to beat "The World Ends with You." You're now battling your way through this journey while collecting pins to provide your heroes new skills. You're also looking at a more current version of Shibuya in Tokyo, Japan. There are several attractions to see, characters to meet, and places to dine at. Of course, there are stores. There's a similarity to an in-game social network. There's a lot to look at, and it's just a fantastic follow-up to "The World Ends with You." This was one of those DS games that blew everyone away when it was originally released. So having a strong follow-up that simulates that experience while blowing it out of the water is certainly worth checking out.

Tales of Arise

Developer: Bandai Namco
Genre: Action Role-Playing, Fighting, Adventure

This game provides you a ton of lore to study and characters to chat to so you can truly learn about the world they've created. "Tales of Arise" is a standalone narrative, so if you haven't played any of the other "Tales" games, that's alright; this is a terrific place to start.
