8 Video Games You Spent 100+ Hours In (And Still Haven't Finished)

4. Red Dead Redemption 2

Though Red Dead Redemption is a more stridently story-driven game than most of the entries on this list, it's still an Experience that begs players to stop, smell the lovingly rendered roses, and basically do anything but actually beat the damn thing.

You almost certainly know what happens at the end by now - the Internet being the Internet with spoilers and all - but actually rolling credits for yourself? Nah.

Even if you rush through the story, you're looking at around 40-50 hours to beat both the main campaign and lengthy epilogue, and this being a Rockstar game and all, almost nobody is going to be doing that.

Red Dead Redemption 2 boasts one of the most jaw-droppingly impressive and immersive open worlds in video game history, which combined with the wealth of meaningful side content packed into it, makes exploring for tens of hours away from the critical path not merely a joy - but a necessity.

Taking a peek at the game's PS4 trophy data, barely a quarter of players have actually finished the epilogue, which more than five years removed from its release suggests that the overwhelming majority of people have clocked epic play-times without actually concluding the story in full.
