How long is this game with all the DLC's?

Just started playing.

Somebody beats everything in 70-80 hours. But a bit leasure players like me has 128 hours in it, yet I still have some devilish challenges unbeaten.

I was at 111% in 27-30h before my save was corrupted. I think it would take me 5-10h to beat the rest. So on average i would say between 35 and 50h which is huge for a Metroidvania.

And that’s still beating it relatively quickly.

[クズハモン]

At like 40 hours I was at 108%
30-40 hours I'd say is the average.

[ramonpontes]

I have 64 hours, and I still have to finish the pantheons. And after that I'm going for the speed run, to finish the last achievements. I think I'm going to reach 100 hours to do everything the game has to offer.

[Syndiciate]

30-60 hours for non Godmaster content.

[Boksha]

"All DLCs" includes Godmaster, which basically just tacks on an extra 20 hours. I'd say 30 hours sounds sensible for all pre-godmaster content.

[HighLanderPony]

It can range from 40 min speedruns to 100+ hour methodical completions.

[Phirestar]

My original save file is up to ~135 hours, having finished everything except for the final two Pantheons in Godmaster.

[mongi]

It took me about 20h to beat it normally and 40h to 100% it. (Not counting godmaster)

Main story takes about 20-40 hours, depending on how much you're willing to complete. Extras and personal goals can take you well over 100. Depends on what you want to do. But get ready for at least 20 hours. (Don't worry the game makes it easy to sink dozens of hours into it)

I must call BS on all the assertions in this thread that say HK is a long game.

There are Achievements for this game that objectively prove that it isn't, but rather that it's extremely short.

I.e.
Speedrun 1
Complete the game in under 10 hours

and

Speedrun 2
Complete the game in under 5 hours


So basically, that's official confirmation that it's a 5 hour game, as by publishing that Achievement, the devs officially endorsed the idea that it can and should be beaten under 5 hours.

Link that proves what I just said:

Yes, you can spend a lot more time in the game than 5 hours. But that's not because the game is long. No, that's because you don't know where to go or what items need to bypass obstacles that prevent you from progressing, or where exactly to go to use which particular items on which particular obstacles that they bypass.

Consequently, the game forces you aimelessly to derp around the world until you happen to stumble upon the correct place you are supposed to be based on the items you currently have. That process wastes of a lot of time by causing you to have to constantly keep re-treading over the same ground which you've already been to. So that's not actually part of the game length.

Technically, if you're "speedrunning" you can beat the game in under 30 minutes. You have to cheat to do it, but you can. However, that's not what the OP is asking for.

Also yes, the game makes you explore and revisit areas, it's a Metroidvania game. You still gotta have the built up practice to do the platforming and combat, that sure takes up a lot of the time too.

Yet you also ignore the fact that only 1.3% of players even have that speedrun 2 achievement and 1.7% with the speedrun 1 achievement
Also achievements have been proven to never be a viable source of info on a game's stats.
Also way to ignore the fact that multiple of the achievements encourage exploring and multiple playthroughs

Yes the game can be completed in under 5 hours, it's optional and not required and more for a fun thing than a must like you try to say it is. Metroidvanias in general can be completed in under 5 hours and less if you know what you're doing and can preform the tricks and shortcuts to doing so but the main point is exploration even if is "aimlessly depring around"(which is the fun of the genre)

Also you're the same person who made a thread whining about losing geo when dying and asking for a save anywhere feature then running away when people explain to you why that's a nonsensical idea for this kind of game. Seriously you really do not know a thing about metroidvanias. Ignorance is bliss
