PC video games come in different file sizes, genre types, and playthrough lengths, the latter of which can be a determiner for if a game is worth the purchase. Why play a short game when you can play a seemingly endless one? How long a video game should be boils down to preference, but it’s hard to discount the appeal of a lengthy video game.
You don’t need the most sophisticated PC rig to run these games. What you do need, however, is patience. These aren’t for gamers with a short attention span as they are among the longest in the history of video games. The following estimates were compiled from howlongtobeat.com. These are the ten longest PC games (& how long they take to beat). Enjoy!
10 Wizardry 8 (93 Hours)
The eighth game in the Wizardry series took the RPG genre to new heights. Released in 2001, this is a game that earned wide acclaim with an 85 score on metacritic.com. With dark themes and an abundance of content, it’s worth delving deep into this RPG. Get immersed in this 3D world as you pick up where the last game ended. Each character has a unique personality, speaking over 100 lines of dialogue. Wizardry 8 will take you 93 hours to beat, longer than the average PC game.
9 SnowRunner (94 Hours)
If you’re used to playing RPGs, SnowRunner might not be up your alley. It takes you off-roading in the driver’s seat as sizable vehicles as you complete objectives. The game places you in harsh environments filled with perils in an open-world. Go at it in solo-based missions or join a team of up to four players in relentless co-op. Expect to drive through mud, snow, and water as you complete tasks in this objective-based game.
8 Let It Die (97 Hours)
Let It Die is a role-playing action game where the grim reaper himself supervises the player. Only this version of the grim reaper rides a skateboard. If that’s not enough reason to play, this is a free-to-play game, so the incentive to jump into the action is high.
Despite being criticized by critics, it received an aggregate score on Metacritic of 72. It will take you approximately 97 hours to beat this game, so there’s no shame in quitting while your ahead.
7 Tropico 4: Collector’s Bundle (102 Hours)
Tropico 4 is a simulation and strategy game that revolves around managing a city and manipulating political figures. The game is along the lines of Sim City but differs since you exist as an influential character, rather than a faceless mayor. You hold elections and make moves to remain in power. It’s hard not to compare Tropico 4’s substantial city-building component to Sim City. Grab the collector’s edition and expect to play over one-hundred hours, longer than your typical city-building simulation game.
6 Kerbal Space Program (109 Hours)
Become part of an alien race as you attempt to build a spacecraft under the constraints of orbital physics and realistic aerodynamics. By completing this game’s 109-hour main story, you’ll become an expert in the game’s space program.
As a member of the alien race named the Kerbals, you will enjoy every bit of its sophisticated building mechanics. Building spaceships, rockets, and land vehicles have arguably never been as fun. Explore the galaxy and dock at space stations. The universe is your oyster.
5 Disciples II: Gold Edition (121 Hours)
This turn-based strategy game contains all three expansion packs of the original Disciples II: Dark Prophecy. Completing all of the game’s content is not an easy feat. It will take players, on average, 121 hours to beat Disciples II: Gold Edition. The grim atmosphere ties in with exciting role-playing elements, mashing for one thrilling adventure. Disciples II brings enough to the table to be considered relevant as a turn-based fantasy game despite its length.
4 Deep Rock Galactic (152 Hours)
1-4 players join forces as they progress through endless waves of alien monsters in this co-op first-person shooter. Environments in Deep Rock Galactic are fully destructible. This hidden gem of a video game is available on Steam for a bargain. Since it’s procedurally generated, there is almost no end to the game. An average-paced playthrough will take players approximately 152 hours.
3 Farming Simulator 19 (187 Hours)
Simulator games place players in real-world situations where they must tackle real-world problems. Farming Simulator 19 is a prime example of a simulator done correctly. It contains an abundance of content to keep players engaged.
Plowing, cultivating, collecting wood, raising livestock, and other tasks are a thrill. The objective is to make a profitable farm in huge environments. It might not be back-breaking work behind the blue light of a computer, yet the game will fatigue you as you attempt to complete a 187-hour playthrough.
2 Mobius Final Fantasy (207 Hours)
Originally a mobile exclusive, the game was later brought to PC via Steam. It now sits as one of the longest PC games of all time. Mobius Final Fantasy is an episodic role-playing game. The game contains a leveling system, exploration, and turn-based combat. This game was explosively popular, garnering over 2 million downloads within its early weeks of release.
Despite being a game that takes players 207 hours to beat, the attention to fine details concerning graphics and gameplay is praiseworthy. This game is a must-play for Final Fantasy fanatics and people looking for longevity in a video game.
1 Football Manager 2020 (224 Hours)
