Tears Of The Kingdom Crowned The Longest Game Of 2023 At 110 Hours

The Nintendo title took players a longer time to complete than Game of the Year Baldur's Gate 3.

Such a slog of a game, really don’t see the appeal and I’m a huge Zelda fan

[terstomp]

Zelda fan here as well, and I agree.

What's your opinion on BOTW? I didn't like that, but my gf was in awe, but it was her first open world game, she was new to modern gaming so it was a challenge with loads of excitement.

Tears I am interested in as it has some story. But I've not yet played.

That list is BS. Who completed Hogwarts in 43 hours? It took me over 230 hours to grab the platinum, my first blind playthrough was around 150 hours. Also this year, we've had Persona 4 Golden - which I spent over 300 hours on, Void Terrarium 2 at 154 hours, Trails into Reverie at 148 hours, My Time at Sandrock at 168 hours, and many others over 100 hours.

I've never found any 'completion times' to be accurate on that site and in trophy guides. The only way they can be achieved is if you follow a guide 1:1 and ignore everything but the main quest.

[SinisterMister]

I think these completion times are based on a regular playthrough, involving doing the main quests only with a handful of side quests as well. You can spend 3000 hours on Hogwarts Legacy; this doesn't mean it takes that much to beat it.

Yeah, completion times are irrelevant to me, lol ... it took me 90 hours to get through Aokana: Four Rhythms Across the Blue which includes all the heroines routes and yet a friend said it took them 30 hours, lol .. when it comes to visual novels or mystery games, it takes me 2 or 3 times longer than the average person.

[shinoff2183]

Which is wild as fk cause I put 150 hours or so in star ocean 2. So I think they got it wrong just to prop up zelda

[aka_Dv8R]

With record breaking sales for mainline Zelda games, they hardly need propping up.

[Asplundh]

Star Ocean 2s story takes around 40 hours to beat, you're way behind the average.

[MrNinosan]

TotK doesn't take much longer for the average player.

[Asplundh]

It takes the average player about 60 hours, that's 20 hours more than Star Ocean 2.

[notachance]

where’s that certain game that “gets good” after 100 hours lol

[Asplundh]

It's sitting at #4 on the list

Was just running off Breath of the Wild. Probably be the same old with the next game on the Switch 2. Nintendo needs to knock out some more 2D Zelda games. Zelda needs to mature and move with the times.
