Best games that can be completed in under ten hours?
Best games that can be completed in under ten hours?
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!

Of these, the standouts that I've played so far are "Scanner Sombre" and "Unfinished Swan" for truly unique gameplay. "SOMA" and "Heavy Rain" for best storytelling. "Painscreek Killings" for best mystery (minus one very out of place sequence). "Forgotten City" for the best standalone Skyrim mod turned into a self contained adventure.
To the Moon is a very short must play.
That's the kind of quality content that needs to be stickied for further reference or something!
