Amazing then, the only big complaint I have about Refrain is that the combat system feels kind of "automated" during the last hours, having a good squad is a lot of work and thought but the fights are kind of simple. The last hours were mostly reused content but it was not a big deal as most of the dungeons were rather quick the 2nd time, so I hope that a longer sequel means more unique content and no lots of re-use.
All the posts about AC Vallhalla being that long make me wonder how deep or engaging the game is, to me 100h sounds a lot for an action game with some simple RPG mechanics. Is the main quest that long or are you talking about completing the entire map?
My thoughts exactly. Don't like leaving unfinished business behind and really enjoyed the first 50 hours... But it's just too much of the same thing over and over and over.
Funny you open the thread with Galleria, as that was also the longest game I've played this year.
Almost 70 hours to beat the main game, and 90 hours to get the true end, easily one of the longest JRPGs I've ever played. For comparison, Refrain took me around 45 hours to beat the main game and 55 hours to get the postgame ending.

Nioh 2. Took me about 200 hours to reach the final boss on New Game. It should be noted that this includes a ton of voluntary grinding and farming; it could have been done in 1/5 of the time.
FF7 Remake - 29 hours. I'm a critical path player and 30+ tends to turn me off. For what it's worth I thought FF7R would've been a better game if it cut 7-10 hours of filler.
Seriously impressed at people who can spend 100+ hours on a single game. I just...lose interest or feel like I'm sacrificing other games I'd rather play.

I played Dragon Quest XI for the first time and it took me about 90 hours. Did many side activities but didn't 100% it. Haven't had time for many big RPGs apart from that.
If talking games from 2020 then it's probably Ghost of Tsushima. Did all the trophies and I'm guessing it took 40+ hours.

I spent over 200 hours on Breath of the wild this year, minus the 30ish hours I played back during the Switch launch.
RDR2 took me FOREVER to beat. It's been refreshing to stick to shorter games for a while since then
I've dropped well over 200 hours into Final Fantasy XIV this year. All of that was to finish the main quests for both A Realm Reborn and Heavensward (I'm in 3.4 content now). Still dumping time into it in hopes of being caught up when the trailer for 6.0 drops early next year.

Around 70-80 hours to Persona 4 Golden. Which is surprising because last time I played a game this long it took me a lot more time in terms of months not hours (namely Persona 3 FES or Dark Souls 1 which I am still finishing after 2 years, according to my steam achievements).
The "game" isn't long per se, but I've put 45 hrs into Satisfactory which is far and away the most of any game this year for me.
Uh, I wanted to beat Witcher 3 until I realized it's near-endless and I gave up somewhere in Skellige. I'm one of those people who can't ignore side quests and what not so I spent a perverse amount of time in Velen thinking that was basically the majority of the game :/
By the time I slogged my way through the endless boredom that was Novigrad, I was coasting on fumes when reaching Skellige. I love the atmosphere in it but holy jesus are open world games not for me.

I started playing the Baldur's Gate collection on Switch last year that I think carried into the beginning of this year. If that counts, between BG 1 & 2 combined it was around 200+ hours.
Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition is the other which I spent maybe 100-120 hours on.

After struggling to play anything for more than 20–30 minutes for most of the year, I recently ended up spending 24 hours with Half-Life: Alyx over the course of about a week and a half.
That rekindled my desire to play games again (I find gaming difficult to get into when stressed out) and I've since put a decent amount of time into other games that I picked up in the Steam sale, like Death Stranding and Disco Elysium.
If you have a gaming PC and the means to buy a VR headset - particularly the Quest 2 since it's wireless - I highly recommend it.

Persona 5 Royal.
For the past 3 of 4 years, my most played game released that year has been a JRPG
2020: Persona 5 Royal - 171h
2018: tie between Ni No Kuni II and Dragon Quest XI - 91h each (and I didn't even do the Post Game/True Ending for DQXI)
2017: Persona 5 - lol
My 3 most played games on Steam are JRPGs. Also I just found out my top 10 most played games on Steam are Japanese games and the only one for which you can't argue at all about being some kind of RPG is Puyo Puyo Tetris.

- Dragon Quest XI
- Tokyo Xanadu
- Tales of Berseria
- Monster Hunter World (not even done with the base content)
- Yakuza 0 (also not even done with this one and there's the whole rest of the franchise waiting)
- Dark Souls III
- Puyo Puyo Tetris
- Tales of Zestiria
- Final Fantasy VII
- Final Fantasy XV (haven't done DLC yet)
Since you don't "beat" mobile games, gonna count games proper... Persona 5 Royal easily... 140 hours...
Currently have almost 90 hours in Valhalla with at least 3 alliances left. Given the amount of days and hours left in the year I'm not even sure I'll beat it. But whenever I do it'll be well over 100 hours
Previously I have spent 70 hours on Yakuza 0, still need to finish that
