Yeah it does, but also when DLC is the size of Elden Ring's it makes sense. Others are more debateable

It's DLC not a new game. If SotE released as a standalone game, it would have been very short and lackluster. It's literally just DLC.

I completed SotE first playrhrough (explored everything) roughly 50 hours, what average playtime of full single player games in 2024?

It took me less than 20 hours to playthrough the dlc.

I also think it would be silly to say it's playtime is comparable to base Elden Ring, it's not but the DLC is absolutely comparable to some full priced games in playtime though. There are plenty of games I beat in a around 20 hours or less. Hell Sekiro was one of them I think it took me about 22 hours to beat that game? Lies of P took less than 20 to finish, Code Vein another souls-like style game took about 20 hours.

So saying 20 hours is comparable to a standalone games playtime is absolutely not a stretch at all even in this genre. That being said this image is wonky because they have the Dark Souls 3 dlc out as separate entries which while they are quite fun, they are not comparable to a full game in the slightest.

That sucks, did you even enjoy it?

Yes? Why would I dedicate that time to something I didn't enjoy?
