Just 3 hours to beat the game...

[Robonos]

Sad to see this game is just 4 hours long, considering previous game like Dark Descent was 8 hours to completion, Rebirth was also 8 hours long, Soma being about 10 hours. No one else dissapointed in this?

Not really. Also, I doubt it is THAT short. Saw GmanLives review, he said his first run took him about 5+ hours. Thing is, this game has a lot of replayability into it, with all the randomly generated items, codes and locks going for it... So why bother about how long it will last once you have actually completed the game? They will add 2 extra difficulty modes and we've yet to see what kind of maps the community will make.

If the story is decent and the pacing is good, it will be worth it. All Resident Evil games become a sub 3 hour trip after your first completion, yet we still love those.

I am not gonna trust anyone on this who is already talking about length. A lot of people make it their missions to beat the game without actually really "playing" it so they can pump their reviews out asap to get more views and all.

The Demo already took me around one hours to complete and I missed a good amount of stuff in that. I am not worried at all by this.

[breadman]

anyone that finished it in three hours probably rushed it to scream how short it is

[Robonos]

I hope you guys are right, haven't watched those youtube gameplays but i also wouldn't like the game to have filler sections and that Frictional games really knew how to take advantage of the hub world mechanic and not just made it for get more lenght out of the game

[Damp_Surprise]

Your concerns would be legit if this game wasn’t meant to be replayed. I’m actuality the playtime is many more hrs.

[SWORDLION]

For who? The game is non-linear and has randomization designed for replayability. Maybe Im gonna spend 50 hours on the game? or I will take 10 hours to beat 1 playthrough?

[King Ballsmear]

unless there's different monsters for each playthrough, this game has no replayability.

Will probably take most people 5-6 first time through, but follow ups can be done much quicker once you know the bunker and progression. Easy mode has more save points so you can probably do it a bit quicker as well.

ADD was eight hours long? Did we play the same game?

When I first played TDD I took my time playing it, exploring every nook and cranny and it took like five hours, I could have completed it in one sitting easily.

The first Amnesia definitely isn't two hours shorter than SOMA.

this is the average time to beat, it's an aggregate

it's based on 3.6k submissions

So what? The only thing that matters for a player is the time it took for them to beat the game, not some number on the net.

The OP whining about the length after watching streamers, which is pointless. Maybe his playthrough will take ten hours, you can't know it until you've played it.

so the average length is 8 hours, i don't know why you ask what and then ask so what when i tell you the answer

right, which would make the average length to beat across 10 and 3 is 6.5 hours

glad we got that sorted out
