How many hours for the main quest

[Pepper]

I really want a game that i can play throughj within 2 or 3 evenings. Hope this is not another 70h game...

[Terrovar]

It's going to be WAY more than 2 or 3 evenings.

[Agent 070]

i'm on the way. 13h on Act 1

[mentally gone]

Around 30h should be accurate.

The devs argue it's completeable in ~20h. ~40h for the more relaxed.

"Getting tired" of an RPG is rarely because of length itself. It's that RPGs have a tendency to pad playtime with filler (combat you've seen over and over with no variation has been a trick since forever, even in JRPGs and their random encounters). Most devs are on a budget, and there is a market pressure on them: RPGs are expected to be WAY longer than a shooter or survival horror. That lends itself to filler. Balancing game length and quality on a budget is generally a zero-sum tradeoff. And even the likes of BG3 had to cut stuff outright, whilst Elden Ring had a few copypaste dungeons and recycled bosses as well.


Overall Drova is the type you don't want to end quite yet. Even after hours, I still discover new biomes, twists and enemies that behave in a new way and demand a fresh tactic. The game also creates a mix of pixels, people and places you may be sad to leave forever.
