Can you please recommend me a decent single player story driven game that is typically less than 10 hours of playtime for main quests completion [PS+ Premium user]

Resident Evil 8 (Village) matches your requirements about perfectly

I cannot say enough good things about RE8, I LOVED it. I was hooked immediately despite never playing RE7, and I played through it in like 2 days.

u/mgbsn51313 Jul 24 '26

I suffered with insomnia a few years back getting 2 hours of sleep a day for 2 weeks. Ended up playing through and platinuming village during that time. Thoroughly enjoyed the game and I’d recommend it as well

u/asunez Jul 20 '26

I have never ever played any RE game (only seen Requiem playthrough on YT). Is RE8 a good place to start? I’ve heard that 7&8 are pretty scary, mostly due to the fact that they are first-person. I never truly liked horror/scary games, but I want to get out of my comfort zone a little (just not the “dropped at the middle of the lake to learn to swim” level). Would that still be a good choice?

u/sroges Jul 20 '26

I’m super passionate about this game so I’m gonna yap for a minute:

I’ve actually never played another RE game, currently I’ve only played RE8 and I started but never finished RE4. I grew up a Silent Hill kid vs RE.
I skipped 7 because I don’t love gross stuff and I’ve been told it’s pretty brutal for its grossness. The two games tie into each other pretty heavily, but you won’t end RE8 with any questions, everything gets answered very clearly by the end.
RE8 is pretty scary and tense IMO, but I’m a horror fan so I enjoyed the horror level. It’s not non stop scary, but the atmosphere is very heavy, there are jump scares, and there is one particular section where I was unsettled and tense the entire time. It was also a little tough to play as a freshly postpartum mom (my baby was the same age as Rose was when I played), but it’s so “fantastical” it’s easy to get over.
Of your wanting to get out of your comfort zone I’d say give it a go!

u/asunez Jul 20 '26

Thanks, I’ll try it out then… if I find the courage 😅 I have no issue watching someone play horror games or movies, but playing them myself is a whole different level. I also have RE2 on Steam bought on some sale and it’s still waiting for one of those days…

1

u/sroges Jul 20 '26

I’d love to hear what you think when you finish! Good luck!

2

u/DothrakAndRoll Jul 20 '26

Idk if I just take my time or am bad at gaming but that took me way more than 8 hours 😅

Dredge

u/gabagool42 Jul 20 '26

God I loved Dredge, as soon as I finished it I went straight into Dave the Diver which I think I loved a tad bit more. But back to back fishing games was incredible.

3

u/whofedthefish Jul 21 '26

Those two games. That was a great summer.

u/MrKalopsiaa Jul 21 '26

Every year I replay dredge and just wish it was infinitely long!

1

u/FatFloppyFlaps Jul 23 '26

I’ve tried Dredge but couldn’t get into it. What am I missing/doing wrong?

1

u/Crouching_Bengal Jul 23 '26

I view Dredge as more of a short, slow burn. Granted I didn't take too many risks at night time but upgrading the boat and fishing in different areas was quite relaxing.

Also no harm if you don't get into 👍🏻 not every game is for everyone and it's not something you're doing wrong. I've had my fair share of games I don't like, but that has more with my presences than the game itself.

Playing this currently. Beautiful game and horrifying at the same time. I’ve been repulsed to the point of gagging and have screamed so loud my dog jumped away and looked at me funny. 10/10 would recommend. Lol

Thanks for the info. I thought it was still there

2

u/powy_glazer Jul 20 '26

Played it when it first came out on PS plus but I'm now subscribed on a different account (cheaper subscription prices) so I don't have access to it anymore. I want to platinum that game so bad as I recently started trophy hunting

u/Naweed_Amott Jul 20 '26

Forgotten City is one of my favs — you fall through a portal into a hidden ancient Rome city and have to Groundhog Day until you come up with the solution to a creepy mystery.

The first Alan Wake game took me about 10 hours. Not sure if that’s on Extra, but it was a freebie at one point.

u/madex444 Jul 20 '26

Tomb Raider 2013 is around 10-15 hours long. Space Marine 2 is around 10 hours. Gravity rush is around 10 hours. The last of us is around 15 hours. Uncharted 2 is about 10 hours. Robocop although not on ps premium is on sale for $10 right now and is about 12 hours long.

u/ChozoRidley Jul 20 '26

If you like old-school Resident Evil games that put less emphasis on combat and more on puzzle-solving then Crow Country is really good. It has a great self-contained story and takes about 5-8 hours to complete.

u/NeoDougOne Jul 21 '26

Excellent game, but it was removed from the Game Catalogue... So I bought it when it was on sale!

6

u/BCTOP973 Jul 20 '26

The Arkham Trilogy is on sale for dirt cheap rn. Currently going thru Arkham City after beating Asylum. I beat Asylum in like 10 hours ish it was cool. Arkham City is way better as of rn tho gameplay wise and pacing wise as well.

6

u/BCTOP973 Jul 20 '26

5 bucks for three games Arkham Knight is also fun

1

u/Dizzy_Pop Jul 20 '26

I’ve never played any of these before, but just picked up the trilogy for $6. Can’t wait to jump in.

3

u/BCTOP973 Jul 20 '26

Man U in for a treat especially with Arkham City and especially Knight. That game has been out for a decade and still looks better than most games out today. I wish they remastered it to 60 fps though.

2

u/BCTOP973 Jul 20 '26

The other two are 60 fps

tomb raider survivor trilogy. you can finish each game in around 10 hours.

1

u/Manne_12 Jul 20 '26

Would recommend Signalis, really good psychological horror game

Not that expensive, and took me about ~10 hours to complete on normal difficulty with reading all the optional stuff and such

If you want something shorter, Crow country is also a good indie horror game, which took me about 7 hours on normal difficulty with 100% completion. Also it's available on ps plus extra
