If you google "(game name) how long to beat" you'll literally get a dedicated website that polls gamers and shows what the average length of a game is for different playstyles (main story, completionist, etc).

Go on and try it for HK, the numbers are pretty interesting.

Hello fellow player. My playtimes are

160 hours on my main playthrough. 109/112%

Around 80 on my second playtrough

9:33 on my speedrun playtrough.

Really depends on how fast you are. If it took you 25 hours to beat the mantis lords i expect you to need 100+ hours to beat the game.

I think it would be reasonable to say 30 - 50 hours, it really depends on the player. Once you get all the items/spells to reach new places the game gets faster. I would recommend you to go to city of tears. And by the way, did you got mantis claw? It allows you to stick to the walls and do wall jumps

First playtrough took ~60 hours. Depends on what ending you want

Depends on how much you explore, took me like 180 hours my first run

It takes most people like 10-40 hours, took me more than 80...

20 hours if you're quick, 40 if you're thorough.

That's the general, at least.

15-25 hours for first ending, 30-35 for true ending, 60-80+ for full 112% completion

Like everyone else is saying, it depends how thorough you are, how easily you pick up the combat, and whether you are playing blind.

Put simply, you can 100% the game in 20 hours easily if you move quickly and know the fights. First playthrough is going to be much slower.

everything is so spread out that it's hard to know how long you have to go

time doesn't really matter, it's not a competition

Some people (like me) will take 70 hours for their first playthrough (including doing something extra for a different ending), while others will say a “casual run” took them 15 hours

Maybe this gives you an idea about multiple ways you can play the game. My first save is at 140hrs and i still have stuff to do but today i also created another save and finished the game within approx 4 hours for two speedrun achievements. So it all depends. I would say you can easily get 75-100hrs into your first save before you "finish" it once

all the comments leave out a CRUCIAL detail to how long it takes you: completion

nearly everyone is saying it took them about 80 hours on a first playthrough, but they neglect to specify its for 112% completion, which is getting every single item and upgrade that isn't geo or a relic, and getting almost every ending. to finish the first ending, you might encounter just about 15 to 20 of the 40 total bosses in the game, and it will, on average, take you about 20 to 30 hours. getting the "true" ending takes a LOT of time and effort, and you will stumble upon even more bosses on that path, albeit only 3 mandatory(though its likely you will find a lot more than that). then there are EVEN MORE bosses scattered in the expansions: hidden dreams with 2 bosses, lifeblood with 1, grimm troupe with 2 and godmaster with 5.

you said you just beat broken vessel, and that is really close to the base ending, you just have to now unseal the dreamers(with 2 bosses guarding them) and then you can go to the final boss arena and finish up your first ending

note that you can get every ending on one save file, however one ending gets locked out(the first one) as well as an optional variant of the godmaster expansion ending if you choose to deliver a certain delicate item to the npc you can access the expansion through

You might not believe this (because its a LOT) but it took me 430 hours to win with absolutely everything (all achievements, all journal entries, all glowing pantheon icons, all radiant bosses on HoG).

Of those I would say half were practicing and trying to win PoH with bindings.

I would like to play once more but this time actually just take the time to enjoy the game, read the dialogues, etc lol.

Did the first ending at a whopping 51% clocking in at 9 hours. Currently at hour 16 and have ~89%.

I like to explore everything but I bee-lined it to the dreamers and as soon as I realized how to get to each one and where I needed to go, I fought the "final" boss for the first ending. Little did I know there's much, much more to the game...

68. That was without main game spoilers, looking up DLC locations and not doing Pantheon of Hallownest. Got my 112%, I'm satisfied!

Just "finished" the game about 76% with 40h, without having done any DLC i think... love to think that i have still a lot to explore.

50

And that was with spoilers on where to go.

47 hours for the main game and all DLC but the last.

Another 45 hours for godhome...

To beat the game for me, took about 40-45 hours, and for 112% completion took me about 60 hours.

~50 hrs but I was slooow

for the first ending it took me around 30 hours but to get 112% it took me around 100

mine was 47 hours i wasted a little time but not a lot

Took me bout 65-ish then to do P5 it took another 15 hours lmao

Around 80 hours for me

About 20 hours total, not too bad

58

77 hours. NKG and pantheons 3 and 4 were serious time sinks :/

60-80 hours first playthrough probably, up to 120 if you're slow.

Depending on the route you took to get there, I'd say you are between 30-40% of the way, and that's not counting all the challenge stuff at the end of the game.

The main game is about 40-60 hours, to get 112% can take 100-120 hours.

oh you got a long way to go lol

How long it took for me Main story: ~35h 100%: ~35h 112%: ~50h All steam achievements: ~70h

Everything: 190h

I got 100% on the base game in 50-55 hours. The Grimm dlc was another few hours and the last dlc doesn't really seem like it adds much to the lore, so far, but I could be wrong by the end

It took me 160h to get all of the achievements if that helps

Well the base game should take anywhere between 30 and 60 hours. And the longest dlc should be only like 5 hours. Less probably.

It took me 130 hours to do absolutely everything in the game.

I think around 30-40 hours for me. I just tried to get to every new location. With Cornifer and my running around, the map got really filled, and I could see any areas that I hadn't gone to yet. That's how I felt my way through the game first time :P

40 for first ending, 85 for godmaster endings.

Over a hundred, but I took it slow

30+

Around 50 for me because I didn’t go for just hollow knight, because I knew what the radiance was and just went until I stopped
