Is this game genuinely 15-17 hours max?

[Dokuujin]

I don't mind shorter games, for the most part. But I DO mind when the game charges more than the standard AAA price yet can be beaten in a single sitting if I have a fully free day.

Has anyone finished the game, is it genuinely that short?

Mind you, if it's 15-17 hours just for the main quest but still has a bunch of side content, that hardly counts as being short... But reviews and How Long To Beat both claim the 17 hours is to 100% the game?

Edit: Well, feedback seems to indicate that roughly 30 hours is closer to what I can expect. But, it turns out I have free gamepass, so I'm gonna play the game either way. If it's literally free I can't complain about the length either way XD

It's the same as standard AAA price - Civ VII, Monster Hunter Wilds, Assassin's Creed Shadows et al are all the same base price. Welcome to 2025.

Only if they're defining 100% as something other than 100% :P There's over fifty different ending slides, most of which are dependent specific combinations of choices or quest outcomes throughout the game. Just to see all of the possible main endings would require three or four playthroughs, and that's without looking at the possible variations on that ending from making particular choices in sub/side quests.
For a single playthrough you might hit 17 hours if you focus almost exclusively on the main quest and largely ignore the sidequests, though doing so means you'd only uncover around 20% of each map, so you can take a guess at how much of the game you'd get to see. Assuming you do the 'main' sidequests, explore a little and take on the smaller tasks like bounty hunting I think you'd probably clock in at around 40 hours for a single run.

Main story and "main sidequests" is about what I did in KCD2. Main story, and side content that was naturally obtain and felt worth it or necessary to the plot. And that was... 60 hours? So 40 is fairly comparable. Comparing every game to actual masterpieces is kind of unfair, tbh, so I will acknowledge that 40 is still good instead of just "bUt KiNgDoM cOmE dId iT bEtTeR"... It IS insane that KCD is cheaper though. xD

It is a 22 hours game but yes, you can finish it in 15-17.

I'm just saying I'm playing kingdom come deliverance 2 right now. I have only done like 2 main quests cause I spent 15 hours simply leveling up stealth, and theft. Going around stealing people stuff. It's funny people spent 70$ for a full AAA game that's only 15 hours long.

25 hours to finish the first zone? Are you playing on a super hard difficulty? Cause even people swearing that it's longer than the claims make have said they explored every inch of the main zone in 10 hours.

Maybe the difficulty you're playing on will help make it last more? Lol

No way, I spent 20 hours in Act 1 and only just got to the second area. I searched everywhere, did all the side missions, found the collectibles, and parkoured over everything so I have been doing well for money and resources.

I just finished it. I have like 90 hours in the Game, subtract 15 because I restarted with a different Character.

So it took me around 75 hours to beat with most side content, I skipped some in the last Area.

[cptcooolguy]

Can't imagine people are beating this game in 15 hours unless they are blitzing the main quest on story mode.

I'm an hard difficulty about 50% through the second area and 20 hours in.

[Diomed]

No way. I am 22 hours and I've covered maybe a fourth of the second of four areas. I should get 80+ hours just for one playthrough.

To put into perspective Skyrim was around 10-15 hours but you're missing a lot more to what the game is offering. I feel like that's the wrong way to approach a game's "goodness" factor. How good is a game based off hours of gameplay.

You may have missed it, but I actually mentioned KCD2 right before you commented. I played the original game, which means I was actively waiting for KCD2 and played it day 1. I just beat it like 2-3 days ago, after about 60 hours. You can get way more than 60 hours out of it, though, I barely touched any side content. :)

if you're not interested in side quests, treasure maps, epic loot, refereces to anime and other fun stuff. May be it possible to finish it in that way.. btw why you buy the game? just to speedrun it? Gow some warthunder for 100hrs non-stop rush.

idk iof saying 10-15 hours is fair for Skyrim. Without the DLC it has...6? separate main stories. Like none of them really count as "side content", 10-15 hours for the Alduin questline, but another 4-5 hours per faction. So the low end for Skyrim is 35 hours :p

No. If you speedrun the main story and ignore every single side quest you might glean 25-30 hours out of it. If you take your time and explore itll take you much longer. For reference, I'm 25 hours in and only just got to the 2nd main zone.

25 hours to finish the first zone? Are you playing on a super hard difficulty? Cause even people swearing that it's longer than the claims make have said they explored every inch of the main zone in 10 hours.

took me 20 hours to look through everything in first zone and on normal difficulty.

Well, I'm at 16 hours and still very much in the first area with maybe half the map uncovered. So, I'd say no.

'lol Trump's tariffs are gonna be awesome, i love owning the libs like this'

'hey why is everything i want to buy more expensive now, this is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥! must be the wokes fault!'

[donut32]

i played for 3 hours so far havent even done the first mission. seems like theres a lot of content but none of it has been riveting so far. same ole quests and stuff.

oh and the loot seems to be the same garbage as it was in outworlds. generic weapons left and right.
