Game Length?

about how long does it take to beat the game

Depends entirely on how quickly you destroy the obstacles.

It can take 20+ hours if you fail frequently, but a more or less flawless run takes just under 8 hours.

I only died to like 3-4 bosses a large number of times and otherwise beat most of them in a couple or first try (or first few tries) my first playthrough and the game took me like 35 hours or so to complete for the first time. And I doubt either of those bosses added up much in hours. Maybe it's because I easily got confused after missing something that should be obvious, so I may have ended up wasting time because of that.

Regardless, there are some things you may miss on your first playthrough worth checking out in NG+ or something and getting all the endings.

That 20 hour run was done on release when no guides or anything were available. I got stuck a lot and died quite a number of times, but that's the time i ended up with.

Honestly dont know how you can drag a playthrough for 35 hours straight.

It's a shame, but this game is nowhere near as long as one would like it to be.

Close friend of mine recently started sekiro and got past Guardian Ape and has 20 hours. He hasn't really spent much time in areas either besides select few moments. I don't understand how you can go through the game so fast without prior knowledge of anything.

TBH the bosses are not that hard, if you just rush them, skip dialogue, don't bother to explore the environment and forget about hidden secrets/side quests, then you could beat the game within ~25hrs. The game literally guides you through the story and gives a lot of hints.

If you are into "Soulsborne" games, then you might spend more than 60hrs to set foot on every inches of the map, killing every hidden enemies and optional bosses, learning every skills, and upgrading everything. Some lore obsessed people like me even try to interact with post-quest NPCs and hear what they might say after certain events.

I am still in the first play through, right at the "Turning point" of the main story. I spent so much time exploring the mountains and trying to kill/loot all the hidden stuff. What disappointed me is that there is not too much lore-related stuff besides giving alcohols to different people and listen what they say.

There is actually a ton of lore stuff if you look deeper. Read item descriptions, memories, eavesdrop and stuff like that. People think Sekiro's story is far more simplistic than it really is. It's only really different from other games because it has a more clear story on top of its own lore, possibly making it easy to overlook for some.

I underrated those lore while I was typing the reply. Now you recalled it and those are in fact interesting, but those have less fantasy feeling compared to what souls series gave me. Afterall Sekiro is partially based on a true culture, Imo those have less "wow" impact to me.
