Lies of P is a Soulslike game from Neowiz that adapts the story of Carlo Collodi's Adventures of Pinocchio into a more horror Bloodborne-like adventure filled with disease and rogue puppets.

Although the above chart shows the average length of completion, the main story can take a whole lot longer to get through, as you can get easily stuck on the first boss, Parade Master, or even the miniboss before him when getting out of Krat Central Station.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla officially takes the title of being the longest Assassin's Creed game to date, with its main story being longer than AC Odyssey. Add in all the DLCs like The Seige of Paris, Wrath of the Druids, Dawn of Ragnarok, and A Fated Encounter, and you're looking at well over 90 hours of story content.

Valhalla is one of the most gorgeous and scenic AC titles in the series, its setting taking you to 9th century Anglo-Saxon, pre-unified England when it was split up into Seven Kingdoms and invaded by Vikings. This extremely long length is also one that divided fans, given the overly drawn-out story and RPG grind.
