The Best Games of 2020 You Can Finish Under 10 Hours

Don't like games with the story spread over 50 hours? Hate side quests that distract you from history? So we have prepared a list of new productions, which can be completed in under 10 hours!

Elderborn

  1. Release date: January 30, 2020
  2. Developer: Hyperstrange
  3. Genre: Dark Souls-inspired FPP hack'n'slash
  4. Average time to beat according to howlongtobeat.com: 6 hours 50 minutes

An interesting FPP mix of Dark Souls with Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. That's Elderborna unique hack'n'slash, in which we raze hordes of enemies using all kinds of blades. In the game, we play as a character who defends a fantasy land from the hordes of the mysterious Golden Army. We traverse dungeons, ruins and open spaces, all dominated by somewhat gloomy, ominous visual style.

Elderborn offers extremely dynamic close battles, exclusively with melee weapons. It is also important to use dodges and blocks and the ability to recognize the weaknesses of opponents. These, in turn, present a fairly wide spectrum of enemies to kill, ranging from ordinary bandits, through scorpions, to zombies and other creatures. The somewhat outdated graphics are compensated by a dynamic heavy-metal soundtrack, perfectly matched to the atmosphere of the whole thing.
