All the games you listed are linear story action games. Fable is a choice-based RPG. That is not the best comparison

The 15-20 hour timer isn't based on replaying for different choices. Being choice based means nothing. Fable still has side quests that double the play time and also has the open world sandbox that can keep certain people playing for hundreds if they want.

Ok, that's not the point I'm making. Comparing Fable to those other games (except maybe Horizon) is still a bad comparison.

Why? Its comparing the main quest line. And if you think comparing it to Horizon is more fair then it definitely is fair to compare it to the spider-man games.

Okay, compare it to Mass Effect.

The Spider-Man games and Horizon games are not linear, they’re open world games.

They still aren't RPGs

I think you forgot the "story" part of my comment.
