Say a simple (hours enjoyed playing)/(price of game) equation. How many hours (you enjoyed) per $ do you think is reasonable/expected? Or is there other criteria for you?
I feel like I’m on the upper end here. But to be fair I also tend to play things that has a lot of replayability. So I usually reach 100+ hours on my favorites eventually.
Eager to hear how others reason about it.
Edit: Added the enjoyed part. I agree with the comments that frustrating hours shouldn’t be included in the measure :)
Agree with others that length/price ratio doesn’t really reflect how much I enjoy a game.
If I like it, I like it. The hours are irrelevant to me. I can get just as much enjoyment out of a six hour game with zero replayability as I can with a dozens-of-hours-long replayable RPG. It’s the experience, not the time.
Also, with Game Pass and the fact that I buy everything on sale, there’s no real good answer if I did approach it that way.
That said, the only two games I’ve bought at full price in the last decade or so were Breath of the Wild and Spider-Man PS4.
Massively fun and I didn’t feel like I had wasted any money.
