Hello, there.

Although I enjoyed long games like Baldur's Gate II and Dragon Age Origins, I want to finish as many games as possible. So can you you suggest me top quality, quick to complete games? New or old and from any genre. Thank you.

I just picked up Defense Grid: The Awakening off of Steam when it was on sale and it's a great, addicting game. The campaign isn't too long, and if you still feel the itch to play, there are a lot of other challenges to do after the main campaign is complete.

Sid Meier's Pirates! is a great game but there's really not too much replay value. There is a ton of stuff to do but it gets kinda repetitive after a while. Worth a play though.

I bought and played Max Payne and Max Payne 2 during the steam sale. The first one took me 8 hours and the second one was even shorter than that, and I thought they were both great games

Pretty much any Call of Duty game released so far on PC had a great SP campaign that's also pathetically short.

Cryostasis is quite short. And a solid game nonetheless.

They are pretty fast-paced, I wouldn't call them 'pathetically' short. They are a good length, I would probably not want to play 15+ hours of that kinda action.

Me neither, but completing a full-priced game in four hours (longest COD game I played was six hours long) is pretty disappointing. Right when it really gets going and gains momentum it gets cut short.

Doom II

Blood

Half-Life

System Shock 2

Deus Ex

UT 2004

RPG:

Fallout

Diablo II (game itself is short but replay value is infinite)

Torchlight (its as long as you make it)

Adventure:

Sanitarium

Penumbra Triology

Platformer:

Trine

Sim:

Freespace 2

It was not short, it just the fact that you enjoyed so much that you wish it never ended!!! Ask me it was longer than most 5 hour fps i played, or atleast much more slow paced!! Awesome game in any case!! Hey anyone remember freedom fighters? Awesome game but i swear the god that at its release date it seem incredibly short in an insulting way!!!
