Game Length?

[Ozull]

In this type of game it might be difficult to estimate how long to complete such a thing from beginning to end but I hope a dev can spread light on it possibly. I am just interested in how long it would take for me to get from beginning to end never deviating from the main objective. Anyone know how long? I know there's a lot to do in this and you might never really stick with one direction but I like to know if a player chose to do the bare minimum to get through the story, how long does it take?

Thanks!

They already estimated - 60ish hours for fairly-completionist, 90ish if you want to be exhaustive. Probably need to play it through at least 3 times if you want to dig through most of the branching content.

Reading speed (and how much you choose to skim or not) is a HUGE factor in a game like this so it can be very hard to say.

For instance< I read relatively slowly and take my time so I notice in other text heavy RPGS sometimes it takes me MUCH MUCH longer than other players. (Numenera Torment took me MUCH longer to play than most people for a specific example)

While someone who reads fast or skims, may beat such a game much much quicker.

Lke I was reading a topic on another forurm about Disco Elsyium and two people who got Disco Elysium have VASTLY differnet play times. Like One person beat tthe game in around 30 hours. (they probalby skim or have a super fast reading speed) While the other player was taking much much longer.

Well, I just finished the game and i took me about 40 hours with all the side-quest completed.

I'd somehow never finished the newest Planescape Game because of my insane backlog. Seeing the name again reminds me I have something cool to play until the 15th. Thanks Ninja with no Name!

Also I've heard that because of all the crazy randomness that can radically alter your playthrough that it would take quite a few playthroughs to see most of the game. I meant for Disco Elysium but I guess that could be said for Numenera, too, at least up to the point where I had stopped.
