23 Video Games You Can Complete in Less Than Seven Hours
These days, it seems like video games are a long-term commitment. Games as a service like Destiny 2 and MMORPGs like Final Fantasy XIV are constantly releasing new content, and keeping up with the latest storylines or time-limited events can feel more like a side job than a game. Even single-player games tend towards giant open worlds like Elden Ring and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla , which can take tens or even hundreds of hours to complete. Getting lost in games like this can be fun, but it also crowds out other games you might want to play, especially if you only have a couple of hours to play during the week.
Luckily, there are thousands of games that you can play through in just one or two short sessions and still feel like a complete experience. Whether you want to take a break from those big AAA time wasters or expand your library and try shorter games, here is a list of 23 games you can get through in a few hours.
Everything on this list takes less than seven hours for a standard playthrough, and most of them take no more than two to three hours. Obviously this time can vary due to differences in player skill, and finishers may find that some of these games can take up to two or three times as long to reach 100%, but it’s still a lot less than most games.
