Beat It in a Weekend
You can finish these over one weekend, twelve hours or less.
Twelve hours or less, BANG 78 or better. 560 games clear it. Twelve is a Friday night plus a Saturday afternoon, which is the honest amount of time most people with a job get in a row.
The floor drops to 78 here, two points under the one-sitting cut. At twelve hours the per-hour math stops being absurd, so the score needs less protection and more can come in. Left 4 Dead 2 runs 10.3 hours and scores 97.5 off 1,057,406 reviews. Hotline Miami runs 5.2 hours and scores 85.4. Celeste misses at 75.7, 8.3 hours at a $19.99 list, and it is still the one I would push on someone who says they hate hard games.
This is barely a band, though. 263 of them run four hours or less, so the list swallows the whole one-sitting collection and then some. And main-story length lies badly on replay games. Balatro sits at 95.1 with 7.7 hours, technically true and useless, because nobody who buys Balatro plays it for 7.7 hours. The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth shows 5.6 hours against 454,013 reviews. Read a length like that as a first run and nothing more.
