Good games under 4 hours long

Cool idea, thanks for the list. I loved litter inferno and it took around 2.5 hours for me to beat in one night.

Little Inferno was like 3 hours long.
Kentucky Route Zero (or at least, what's currently out of it) is 2 to 3 hours long.
I've heard that Gone Home is also very short, but I've yet to beat it, so I don't have an exact time.

I enjoyed The Swapper, wasn't too long though. ~3-3.5 hours.

include most adventure games here too.

Lucasart Adventure Pack (replayability), Primordia (replayability), Deponia 1, 2, etc.

thx for skyrim

Nice topic. I'm actually doing something similar and trying to complete games that take less than 6 hours. I'm starting out with The Blackwell Legacy. Some short games that I've enjoyed:

Alan Wake: American Nightmare (4 hours)

Evoland (4 hours)

Portal (3.5 hours)

Home (1 hour)

I hear ya on gaming ADD I've been the same way lately. My favorite game to play like this is Binding of Isaac.

Bleed has a ton of replayability time if you go for all the achievements.

Portal (Around 55 Minutes)
I haven't really attempted to "speedrun" any other games.
Mirror's Edge is also a fun short game, though I've only done a single playthrough of it and didn't really time myself.

Out of my Games, I was able to complete both Braid and Portal in under 4 hours.

• Portal (2-3 hours)
• Lone Survivor (3 hours)
• Analogue: a Hate Story (3 hours)
• Bastion (4-5 hours)
• Dear Esther (2 hours)
• Home (2 hour)
• Hotline Miami (5 hours)
• Nikopol: Secret of the Immortals (3 hours)
• Proteus (1 hour)
• Rochard (4 hours)
• Sword and Soldiers (4 hours)

And I could add the roguelike genre, you do as many runs as you'd like but a run is usually 1 hour long:

• Hack, Slash, Loot
• The Binding of Isaac
• FTL

Arcade style could fit you too. You make as much runs as you want, often score based. I like Puppygames for those:

• Titan Attacks
• Ultratron
• Droid Assault
• Revenge of the Titans

try sniper elite nazi zombie army .-. 3,5 hours for me to finished it

This may help clicky :D

I need games like those. I play a long game for 10 hours and lose interest 1/2 to 3/4 of the way through.

From my games:

Sine Mora
1000 Amps
Auditorium
Windosill
Codename Gordon
Defy Gravity
Eversion
NightSky
Offspring Fling!
The Wonderful End of the World

Puzzle Agents 1 + 2, The Ship, DLC quest, each freaking individual Sam and Max,

Check out the Hector series, about ~3hrs per ep. Good stuff those. Just completed that myself.

I haven't played Shelter yet, but they say the game is really good and about 1 hour long. Also, it has badgers. Can't beat that.

The Cat Lady ! \o/
It's definitely not the last time that I'll recommend this game - it's dark, deep and simple...but it's gonna leave a mark somewhere in your brain ;)
Took me about 3 hours to finish - and loved every bit :)

Unmechanical.

• Jamestown
• Fairy Bloom Freesia
• Gundemonium Collection

Like you said, most games under 4 hours long are built with huge replay value. Would be interesting to open another thread with a slightly longer hour limit as well, to provide those games that aren't necessarily designed for multiple playthroughs, but are still short enough for backlog killing. Mark of the Ninja, Spec Ops: The Line, etc.

cave story is a pretty fun game thats around the 4 hour mark i think depending on how fast your are...

might be more like 5 hours idk, but I thought super panda adventures was pretty good from groupees bm9 bonus.

They Breathe on Desura is pretty short (about 1 hr) and quite creepy ^_^

Some games that weren't mentioned in OP:

Gunpoint (3 hours)

Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP (3 hours)

Analogue: A Hate Story (Took me 4 hours to 100%, depends on how quickly you read)

Hotline: Miami (4 hours)

Portal (2-3 hours)
