It’s a really useful resource, as luck would have it, but as the developer of Ivy Road Games points out, it also includes a front-page section titled “Got Bad” with games like The anacrusis at 43% and Nongunz: Doppelganger Edition simultaneously. Within the Xbox Wire post is a direct link to a new section of HowLongToBeat specifically, gathering information about Game Pass games. People like the idea of ”more” even though they may never reach the 200th hour Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.Ī twitter user, observed another peculiarity of this update. If someone sees that something is only a few hours old, are they less likely to buy it? Are all-time classics like fire clock, day of the tentacleor ABZÛ worth less because they’re under six hours? When placed next to a similarly priced roguelite, aren’t they or their modern equivalents far more likely to be overlooked for their low single-digit “beat” time? Some will no doubt be thrilled to know that a short game can fit into their daily lives, but there’s a reason the industry is collapsing under the weight of live service games that never end.
Then there’s the inevitable way does Bias towards shorter games. (I deleted that immediately, of course.) This is the only explanation I can think of as to how Minecraft Dungeons is currently listed as five hours long. I just checked and you can make up any number you want for HowLongToBeat – I just said I was done Stray in an hour, but it took 1,223 hours to reach 100% and that was unquestionably added to the overall game stats. And honestly, who sits there with a stopwatch while playing? Does it count if you stop for a coffee? What if the doorbell rings? Not to mention the silliness of relying on console or Steam clock times, since they usually keep running when a game is paused. Players do the same and don’t want to appear as if they have problems. If you write that a difficult game took you 12 hours, you can get vitriol bombarded by people who finished it in 9, so people shave a few hours off just to be safe. As a game critic, I’m aware of how much even other game critics lie about how long it took them to complete a game. The problem with such statistics, however, is that they can deviate from the truth too easily.
I wish we could see more footage like this, both before and after a game releases. These videos, as weird and jerky as they may look, are the work. This process is not magic, it takes time work, and just because the average player never gets to see it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.
Video games are no different! They start on the back of napkins and years later end up as something cool that we play and enjoy. A Marvel blockbuster hitting the big screen isn’t going to look like a blurry photo showing Chris Hemsworth in half a costume.

Why wouldn’t anyone work at Rockstar? Yes, really But should that worry you, unless the only thing you were really worried about was maintaining the industry’s obsession with pre-orders and tightly controlled pre-release marketing? Set photos from Hollywood movies and major TV shows leak out all the time, showing everything from stars with prosthetic limbs hanging from their faces to green screens behind them, and we put up with it because we all think, well, like that films are made. And its story and well-designed gameplay systems help me keep going, even when it gets a bit too survival-heavy from moment to moment. It’s a refreshing twist on a genre that’s gotten a little dated for me over the last few years. They don’t cut down trees, but blades of grass and sprouts.
Yes, you make some of it in Grounded, to. Grounded could be the perfect game for people who are tired of chopping down trees and crafting axes. I imagine spending a year in Early Access, letting players help out with feedback and testing is probably a big reason Grounded feels more polished than so many other survival games. You can create some large, complex, and detailed structures, but the Blueprint system keeps things organized. In particular, building is easy, but not easy. And better yet, it’s all very simple and snappy. Navigating menus, using your inventory, crafting items, and building bases all feel great. Another reason I kept playing Grounded, even as I was slowly becoming paralyzed with fear of all the damn bugs was how good it felt.
