While The Outer Worlds may have a brief narrative to chew on, the extra sidequest dishes are numerous and abundant. That all makes for a chunky game in the long run, but just how quickly can The Outer Worlds be clocked if you’re in a rush? Around 25 minutes, give or take.

Borderlands originale was an easy 10-hour game and triple that with its superb DLC, whereas Borderlands 2 gobbled up dozens of hours with a similar format, larger world and expansions threw fascinating new wrinkles into the game.

Over the last couple of years since Xboss Phil Spencer took over the brand, things have changed for Microsoft. Their E3 press conference has evolved into a blitzkrieg of trailers that highlight third-party and first-party games for the Xbox One and PC, a show that has minimal waffling and maximum excitement. Last year’s show was especially good, a highlight reel of expected and new games for team green. This year? That show is going to run a full two hours.

Originally due for a release in March, Agony was pushed back to May 29 instead as some extra work was needed to help deliver some more torturous content. Looks like that extra time in the oven has paid off, because Agony won’t exactly be the briefest of walks in Satan’s backyard.

Worried that DOOM will be shorter than your hopes and dreams? Fret not, because it apparently has a sizeable single-player campaign.

Campo Santo's incredibly good looking mystery is going to be a meaty one too, with the Wyoming Wilderness holding its grasp over you for a decent length of time.

mteal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes is pretty much a demo that you’ll pay for a premium price for. All two hours of it.

So how long is the core gameplay of Tomb Raider going to last you? Quite a few hours in fact.
