A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

So this isn't directly related to patientgaming but my hardware and personal tastes kind of filter me to playing games no newer than five years old.

I'm looking for some recommendations for games that can be completed within ten hours. I've realized recently that this is the sweet spot how much I enjoy playing a game before I get bored of it. I'm open to all types of games. Thanks in advance!

Subnautica under ten hours

Maybe I'm just really bad at it.

Definitely not. I’m great at it and it’s absolutely not an under-10-hour game, especially for a first time player.

In easy mode, maybe. I played it on hardcore permadeath and it took many, many hours to complete it.

Honestly, that was the one suggestion I put that's likely well over 10, but damn it's a good game.
