II know things doesn't scale but I would love a AA cRPG at BG3 standard but a fifth of the length. Then I may actually finish it. 20-30h experience would be just great.
Divinity: Original Sin 2. You want Divinity: Original Sin 2.
That game is in no way 20-30h...unless you speedrun the main quest and even that's questionable.
Working on it... Cleared tutorial island for the second time, took a breather and now its been a couple of weeks. Sigh. Soon I will have lost the feel for the run and start over.
I have like 300 hours in BG3 and have not even finished the main quest yet
As I barely have managed to squeeze in 5-10 hours of gaming per week this winter season the thought of spending 300+ hours in a single game is overwhelmingly daunting. A year with a single game. Ugh...
My best gaming experience this last year was with a short game that I knocked out in a weekend. Got a good satisfying experience and a conclusion to it. Git me rethinking things.
To sped that much time in BG3, you basically need to be trying to go as slowly as possible or restart a bunch of times.
You can easily beat the game in 50-80 hours without purposefully skipping content.
What was the short game? I want to play it now
Stray Gods, a roleplaying musical. More of an interactive musical than something with deep gameplay features. Kinda like a point-and-klick but you choose where the musical number goes. Inbetween the numbers there is a whole slew of talking to folks, investigating scenes etc.
Would have passed over it as it was far from my regular cup of tea. So I'm glad I "stumbled" into Overly Sarcastic Productions critique of it. May be the Detail Diatribe of theirs I've been the most glued to. And then I needed to play it myself.
That will be $199 million, please!
