Endless Value · 80+ Hours
Eighty hours of main story and up, with a BANG of 78 or better.
19 games. That is the whole list, gated at eighty hours or more and a BANG of 78, and the thinness is the most interesting thing on the page.
Long games are what dollars per hour flatters most, which is why the score gate stays on. Padding makes the per-hour number look better and the reviews look worse, so a game only lands here if the hours are real and people liked them anyway. Satisfactory clears at 97.5 with 107.2 hours and 278,903 reviews. Kerbal Space Program logs 113.9 hours at 95.2. Valheim scores 91.5 across 82.6 hours off 541,616 reviews.
The thinness says more about the tracker than about long games. Most genuinely enormous games carry no length this long in HowLongToBeat, because main-story time for an open-ended game is either unlisted or measured against a campaign nobody actually plays that way. What survives skews to sims and idlers. Melvor Idle is on here at 1,394.7 hours and NGU IDLE at 1,407.2, and nobody sat through either of them; those are browser tabs left open. If you came looking for a long RPG, this cut misses most of them.
