How long is game?

[TheGame]

Seems can of pricey for a game that is pulling for speedruns lol

Is there new game mode or anything like this.

What does pulling for speedruns mean? Can't pretty much any game of any length be speedran?

Anyway, it's a decent length game. 15, 20 hours? Any speedrunning you do would be able you've figured out the game, because a lot of the game is about figuring things out on your own.

Thank you for second part of your comment i didn't want to pay that much if the game was short is all.

I was just curious if game had replay value, I don't speed through games i try to enjoy the presentation.

Yeah never judge length by speedrunners, you gotta look at how long the runner's first playthrough was because every runner has to play it casually the first time.

First part is very true, second one isn't. I know of a Dark Souls speed runner (German dude, did his videos in English but can’t remember the name) who held the WR for a good long while, who had never once gone through the game normally. But on the first note, Wind Waker can be broken to beat it within just a few minutes. Yet, it's 20-30 hour game. Elden Ring has the shortest speedrun of all From games, yet you can easily take 200+ hours exploring it all.

As per your question OP, the most there is in the form of traditional replayability is doing whatever achievements you missed by playing normally. Other than that, it's virtually the same every run. However, you can 1) take well over 20 hours just to beat it normally and a good 10 more (or WAY more) to uncover all secrets and 2) this game is awesome to play with a randomizer mod, if you do buy it and enjoy it a lot, try the randomizer, it'll get you a good 10 hours more as you try to figure out how to get through it without your usual tools.

I've played the game for ~20 hours and still haven't found every secret, but I've beaten the final boss. There's so many secrets that they're gonna extend your playtime a lot if you try to get them all, especially if you don't get any outside help for puzzle hints.

If you want to obtain everything, it is going to be 20-40 hours. The difficulty is harder than that of Elden Ring at many places.

Took me 45 hours to 100% it, including all secrets (possibly?) and figuring out the language with the game running (so playing with a pen and paper rather than a controller). It's difficult to estimate what's the minimum time to get to an ending because there is a succession of "wow there's this whole other aspect of the game!" moments where you can choose to go deeper or not. You can play it like a Zelda (beating the bosses and dungeons) in about 20 hours and then see whether the game lured you to solve the big main puzzle that's integral to the story, then see if you're still up for the secrets behind the language, and so on.
