Now post your playtime

Cant speak for kena but the gunk was really medicore.

Kena is great. I'm not sure why he lumped it together with The Gunk.

 

[alabtrosMyster]

But you are paying half the price for even less gameplay hours : D

To be fair Kena is both better looking and fun that 90% of the so called AAA games out there.

 

[Kokoloko85]

I think I got closer to around 8-10 hours for Kena.
Also Sifu is AA and I had way more hours into that then alot of games

 

[Beechos]

If anything we need more games like plagues tale/1st hellblade. Are these even considered aa?

4 hours is a demo for me. If most games were that short I woulda quit gaming long ago. In fact, I have skipped many excellent games just because of how short they are - and lack of replayability.
I understand small studios have limited budgets - but there's so many ways to get a game to last at least 12 hours nowadays. Why wouldn't you when you have already built so much of the game to begin with?

Replayability is a forgotten art in this era of moar content/hours.

I'd say so. Those are both great too.

 

[VanCityGamer]

Both stores let you sort by release date. Read them.

So no actual examples. Figured. There absolutely is not “tons” of quality AA games releasing consistently. Your snarky responses in this thread have been useless.

 

[thatJohann]

Agreed. Gimme a focused 4 hour game over a 100hr bloated side quest bore.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

4 hours?

I don't know about The Gunk but Kena definitely took over 10 hours and that is without platinum.

Came here to say this.
I didn't even know it was possible to rush through the game in 4 hours...

 

[Amiga]

I'd like more games like Greedfall and Vampyr. Gunk doesn't interest me. I didn't like Kena.

Point of AA is it doesn't need universal appeal. players can love Kena and hate Vampyr but both can be successful because the market is now big and diverse and the development budget isn't bloated.

Hades, a 30 minute game I’ve played 60 times

Sure. Which is exactly why I was pointing out other AA games that appealed to me. I certainly don't expect others to like the same games I do.

 

[DarkMage619]

I think The Gunk would be fine as a mobile game.

Otherwise it's more of a ~£15 - £20 game.

The Gunk IS $25. Kena is $40. The Gunk is also on Game pass. I don't know is Kena is on PS Now.

 

[Kataploom]

Hellblade is supposed to be like that, but then they are making it AAA with lots of shit and open world (is this confirmed?)... I like smaller games too, I'd rather have short story mode with lots of optional things to do for those wanting to get lost in a single game

 

[Hezekiah]

The Gunk IS $25. Kena is $40. The Gunk is also on Game pass. I don't know is Kena is on PS Now.

I haven't played Kena, but it is better reviewed, and people I know who have played it say it's 12 - 13 hours, whereas The Gunk took me half that.

If you're too lazy to open your eyes and actually know what's coming out, it's not the job of strangers on the internet to do individually list them for you.

You gotta love it when people make an argument, have no supporting evidence, and then get mad at the other person for not researching their own point for them. If you have nothing of value to post, why bother?

 

[The_Mike]

There's plenty of those around, you just need to find them

Art of rally for 20 euro? Man I've seen it on game pass and I honestly saw it as a mobile game because of the graphics didn't realise it was that expensive.

 

[Dust-by-Monday]

I'd honestly love to go back to shorter games (8-10 hours long) and see more games pumped out more quickly like the PS3 days. Now, it takes almost an entire generation for a studio to pump out a game.

Games don't need to be 500 hours long and full of fluff and side activities. Gimme a game with a straight forward plot and let me enjoy something shorter.
