To be honest, I'm kind of over 200h behemoths anyway. A concise, focused, high-quality 20-40h experience is kind of optimal I think. Every time as of late that I start a massive game (thinking I'd be really into it and feeling hyped!) I just end up burnt out by the 75% mark and having to force myself to finish it, actively resenting it as I press through to see the credits.

Exactly this. I liked witcher 3 but I can never bring myself to replay it because of the time commitment. I replayed Witcher 2 a dozen times and its a tight 30 hours.

I don't mind long games but if it's an RPG with branching story lines I think I would prefer a shorter game that I could replay. I always want to replay RPGs to see the different paths but never do cause they are insanely long and I don't want to devote my existence to one game even if it's amazing
