Game Length / How Long To Beat

[MeGa]

I wonder if this will be like a Bioshock or Dishonored game, where it can easily take you 30 to 50h to complete everything and explore everything, or more like a shadow warrior 3, of say 6-10h long. What do you expect?

for me its key for purchase, also knowing replayability features like new game +, some procgen or roguelite modes are good additions to this kind of fps, where the gameplay is supposed to be kinda fun, and a single, short playthrough would be a wasted potential.

how long it will take to beat Atomic Heart.

To beat the main story campaign, you'll need to set aside "approximately 20-25 hours." However, for the completionists out there, you'll be playing for a little while longer. "Since the world of Atomic Heart is quite huge and filled with various activities, the full completion will take much longer," Bagratuni said. "Indeed, it is difficult to give the exact number. However, I can assume that the completion of the game may take the player about 35-40 hours."

Devs have a habit of exaggerating how long their game will take to beat. I can't remember the game, but I do remember the claim that it would take over 100 hours to beat it, and people beat it on launch day.

Why would I use speed runners as an example?

They generally use faster players, because no one wants to PAY game testers for longer than needed to finish and test the games in the first place as the baseline for game length, people just leisurely strolling through the game take time to stop and absorb the surroundings for hours more.

Well in HowLongToBeat, if you dont look at the maximum reported times, games like Bioshock 1-3 are like 15 to 30h. But for me they are "50h" games, as I explore a lot, farm a little even in shooters to get whatever, do all side quests etc.

So a dev time of 25h long can be good and become those 50ish hours fps I usually like more.

Prey and Dishonored 2 (which arent direct comparisons as much as bioshock is) are a little bit more lenghty, with completionist times of around 45h, so I dont think it will be that long.

Shadow warrior 2, with how long to beat times of 7 to 24h also felt kinda long to me, so I expect Atomic Heart, with its dev reported "at least 25h" to be long enough.

Truly said that with games where combat is so fun and engaging like those examples, theres a point where I usually like to abandon main quest, and start doing secondaries and even sandboxing a little a la borderlands, hehe.
