Well the problem with this question is that once in a while a game like the Witcher comes up and ruins it for the others , there you get 100 hours of bloody brilliant . But if I catch your drift correctly I can agree that in some cases I actually prefer a game to be shorter , it ' s easier for me to find the time to play it . But in those shorter cases I still prefer to get more than 10 hours if not I don ' t really get in to the game enough I feel . I would have to check my steam stats to make sure that ' s true . Dishonored for example I really enjoyed , I loved novelty of the gameplay as well as the story , but it ' s rarely a game I remember when looking back , since it was so short . So I ' d have to say 30 hours of game time in games that have some aspects that make me wanna keep playing , for it to be a game I remember .
