Patient Gamers
A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Citizen Sleeper, it's so good you will likely not put it down until your story ends!
-
Thomas Was Alone, amazing narrative platformer and all time favourite.
-
Telltale Games, most of not all can be completed in 10 hours and they are all great. TWAU is the best one.
-
Titanfall 2, one of the greatest campaigns.
You can finish a lot in 10 hours.
If you wanna have some nostalgia for 2000s era AOL chatrooms you ahould try Emily is Away Too
I think Cocoon will fit in 10 hours. It did for me.
Most point and click adventures take about 6-10 hours in my experience. My favorites are the Monkey Island and Deponia games.
A bit old, but gold: Fate (the dungeon crawler one). It's a bit low-poly by today's standards, but it's so fun and has killer music, lots of spells and weapons, tons of interesting enemies and can be beaten in like 6 hours.
Ratchet and Clank (into the) nexus on ps3 is like a 5 hour game. It also nicely ties into the latest game if you've yet to play that
Digital - A Love Story and its not so close successor Hate Plus. These are digital novels. The former is a story set in a cozy 80s BBS network and the other in an archeological space ship retelling stories related to old Korea. Both touched me very much.
Resident Evil 7 & 8. Seven sets a new protagonist in a series reboot sort of way, so you might miss some Easter eggs and callbacks but playing the previous games AT ALL. Its meant to be an entry point in the series.
Take a look at Contrast, a 5 hours narrative platforming game with pretty visuals an concept
Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion
INSIDE is one of my favorite games of any length
I managed to complete disco elysium in under 25hrs if your up for the challenge you can try and beat my record
Portal, Hyperbolica
