List Of 8 Longest Video Games Ever
Here is a list of the longest video games ever made, in order of how long it took to finish them.
There is no hard and fast rule about how long a video game has to be. After all, games can be any length and still be fun. There are some great short games that can be played in one sitting and only last a few hours. On the other end of the scale, though, there are great games that last hours and hours.
It all comes down to what gets done in the time. So, having more doesn’t always mean it’s better. But the people who made the following games might differ, since their titles are very long. In fact, HowLongToBeat says that their key stories are the longest of all time.
Persona 3 – 82 Hours
Persona 3 is a crazy and interesting story about a high school student who joins the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad (SEES). This group is looking into something weird called the Dark Hour. In the process, they fight monsters called Shadows in a strange tower they can enter during the Dark Hour.
When you’re not doing those things, you’re living a normal life for a teenager. There are parts of life and social modeling in these quieter times. To pay enough attention to both parts, the game would have to be quite long. It does that for sure because it lasts 82 hours.
Harvest Moon: Back To Nature – 83 Hours
Harvest Moon: Back to Nature is a simulation game about running a farm that has a real finish. You start out as a child in the story, but you soon grow up and buy a farm. Over the next few years, you have to build up the place and get to know the people who live nearby.
You can even get married and have a child in this game. Your ending, which will come about 83 hours after you start, will depend on who you choose to spend your life with and how well you build your farm. Since the game’s story takes place over several years, this long time makes sense.
Might & Magic: Heroes 6 – 87.5 Hours
Might & Magic: Heroes 6 is a strategy game with some role-playing game features. It takes place in a made-up place called Ashan. Angels and devils are getting ready to fight, and this beautiful place could soon become a battlefield.
A family of heroes is caught up in the war. This story goes on for about 87.5 hours. The game may be so long in part because it is played slowly and strategically.
SnowRunner – 93 Hours
In SnowRunner, you play the role of an off-road trucker who has to make runs in bad weather and dangerous terrain. You can’t just send anything to anywhere you want. You have contracts to fulfill and jobs to do.
The main missions are the contracts, and they change in how hard they are. Users on HowLongToBeat say that it takes about 93 hours to beat all of them. So, it’s one of the longer gaming trips you’ll go on.
Monster Hunter: Freedom Unite – 99 Hours
As the name suggests, Monster Hunter: Freedom Unite is about hunting monsters. In fact, most of the game’s tasks have to do with killing some kind of monster.
There are times when you have to rack and kill tall beings. Sometimes you have to kill smaller monsters, but usually there are more of them. Even though Snake Game doesn’t have much of a story, you can still beat it by completing all the tasks, which takes about 99 hours or so, depending on how good you are.
Persona 5 Royal – 101 Hours
HowLongToBeat says that Persona 5 Royal takes a few hours more to beat than the first Persona 5. Both games, though, are about a secret group called the Phantom Thieves and are very long. These teens who fight crime try to change the minds of bad adults.
They don’t do this by stepping in and giving powerful statements. Instead, they have the power to go into the Metaverse, which is where their target’s wishes are. From there, they can convince them to change. In the game, the group is after a lot of people. There are also parts that simulate real life and a lot of long story talks. So, it makes sense that the game is so long.
Kerbal Space Program – 114 Hours
Since Kerbal Space Program doesn’t really end, it’s hard to say whether or not it’s a long or short game. In the job mode, you run a space program where you use vehicles you make to send little green creatures into space. There is no limit to how many odd contracts you can finish.
But there is one deal that requires you to do the Ultimate Challenge. For some players, this is pretty much the last task you need to finish the game.
Library Of Ruina – 122 Hours
In the unique game Library Of Ruina, you run a library. But instead of giving away books and putting your shelves in order, you fight with your guests. In particular, you are in charge of your libraries, who fight against your guests. In the fights, you play cards, roll dice, and use a lot of strategy.
There are a lot of fights to join and enemies to fight. There are also a lot of long scenes in the story. Because of this, the main story takes an incredible 122 hours to tell.
