Can you kindly please confirm there is more than 20 hours of story/content and replayability value?
Thank you

Additionally, the game features a New Game Plus mode, allowing you to start a new game with all the XP and skills from their previous run. Please note that the time it takes to finish the game depends on your playstyle and the difficulty mode you choose.

I'm not totally sure that if you rush through it that it is 20 hours, but it is pretty close and if you try to collect everything you're get past the 20h mark for sure.

what is the obsession with games being a certain amount of hours now?

Games are starting to be very expensive. If a $70 game is only so little hours to beat and to 100%, than would the cost justify the play time.

this is a $25 game not a $70

That was an example on why people how concerned about play time in a game.

There's a longplay on YouTube that's 6 hours long.

Remember the devs claimed there was 20 hours of content in this game but that’s obviously been proven false.

what a surprise devs lying about something

The longplay may be rushed. We will only find for real when there's enough data on HLTB.
A developer of this app has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

People, this Youtube longplay must be edited to DEATH though.
I wouldn't trust it.

I started playing the game yesterday (I stream in Twitch).
I played for 5 hours and according to items you get in the game and stuff like that I can ASSURE you that I am, at best, around 25% done in the game.

I tend to play games kinda slowly because I like to ENJOY them (and not rush like a madman to beat the game as fast as possible) but this is not an open -world or a sandbox game. So there's only so much time you can spend "idling" or running around exploring without real purpose.

So, I think 20 hours is probably the right estimate.
Obviously, more or less according to how you play and stuff like that.

What I know for sure is that there are 4 weapons to collect / acquire, and that after what I gather is the 1st temple, I still only have one weapon....

I've been playing the game, and I can guarantee that it offers 20+ hours of gameplay if you don't skip cutscenes and play without a guide for collectibles, etc.

For me it is not about getting my money's worth so much as it is about me getting invested in the game... getting lost in the game. That's just not gonna happen in a 5 hour game.

I just 100%ed it and it says 25 hours play time. I keep games tabbed out on my PC at times though. 20 hours is probably a good estimate.

I just finished the game and steam says 13.4 hours. I did all side quests i found. I guess i didnt miss any. I did only 1 challange because they didnt really seems fun to me. Bosses and waves of enemies did not sound interesting.

I didnt found all upgrades or shards but you dont need to and i saw no point. I fully upgraded my two favorite weapons without really needing to search that much for shards or leave alone farming XP.

So as long as you dont go for 100 % for the sake of it, i dont really see how you get to 20 hours tbh.

I was able to rush the end tho. I didnt felt like using the shards for the fists or spear weapon, so i was able to fully upgrade the hammer in the end right away. That thing basically melts thru enemy hords with the spinning move. Nothing can stand against it.

The game starts a bit slow but in the end i really enjoyed playing it and 15 hours is about as long a game like this can stay interesting. It is not really deep enough for 20 or 25 hours despite being a fun game. I guess every gamer should understand what i mean.
