The sign that something is good is when I want it to be longer. Who tf has time to get burned out in some 100 hour game they have to force themselves to finished. I think my hard cap for any game these days is 25 hours

My fave 2 game lengths are sub 10h . Or basically an infinite game.

Lemme explain. A sub 10h game is simple, something like Dispatch you can play through in less or at most 10h.

An infinite game is something with no classical story arc in which you play self contained runs or campaigns. So something like Dwarf Fortress, Total War or Crusader Kings.

Now I do play classical games that are longer than 10h but it usually needs to be in a gerne or setting I really enjoy.

Yeah infinite games are good cos i get to dictate how long i want to play them for. Like every now and then i log into gran turismo 7 and grind a few races but just cos i felt like doing some chill racing
