9. Resident Evil Village (1 Hour, 22 Minutes)

Speedrunner spiceeTV currently holds the world record among Resident Evil Village's spirited, highly competitive speedrunning community, having beaten the game in a mesmerising 1 hour, 22 minutes, and 33 seconds on Casual difficulty in New Game+.

It is a run that demonstrates absolute mastery of the various gameplay systems: conserving ammo and resources for the most necessary parts, skipping every possible skippable enemy, leaping off ladders to save precious seconds, and having the various puzzles memorised beforehand.

Given that most players average around 9-10 hours on a first playthrough, it's an jaw-dropping performance, though with many other speedrunners currently clipping at spiceeTV's heels, it's just a matter of time before he or somebody else posts a new world record.
