gaming Games you can beat in a day?

[ExplosionMare 18,062]

The Pinkie Pie’s Party game for the DS was practically made for an hour of play, so I can beat it pretty easily.

Any of the old Sonic games. Most of those games didn't have save feature, so they had to be beaten in one sitting regardless.

In original form at the very least. Re-releases usually give you a save feature for QoL sake.

Can't fulfill that record on Steam games

I can beat Tetris in about 12 minutes, which makes it possible for me to beat the game 120 times in a day.

[Jackleberry 1,921]

I can do a Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity speedrun in about ~30 minutes, a normal playthrough would probably take 1-4? hours at most.

Most of the Klonoa games out there (Door to Phantomile, Lunatea's Veil, Empire of Dreams, etc.), except for Densetsu no Star Medal.

"Dordogne" which is a story game that takes most people only two hours to complete. I beat the game in a day but I'm sure it took longer than two hours.

pokemon black/white, ive played (and nuzlocked) it start to finish so many times 

[Pentium100 2,120]

I beat Portal when it came out in one day - it's a short game. There are other games in my Steam account that are completed and have low play hours, but I do not remember if I did it in on day or multiple.

[Steve Piranha 29,419]

Mega Man X is a good example for me 

[Zugar 22]

I mean, I think I could beat a bunch of games in a day if I didn't get bored so easily/fast. But one of them is minecraft, a couple hours would do, or even less depending on my luck, I'm no speedrunner

Fallout 3. Once you know the locations of the main quest stuff you can pretty much rush through it in like 2 or so hours. Find Liam Neeson, grab the GECK, and turn on the purifier all in the period of about 2 in-game days after leaving the vault.

[Clawdeen 12,189]

Beacon Pines, Night In The Woods, A Hat In Time(not counting the dlc. Just the base game) and Here Comes Niko I’ve beaten in a day.

Yeah, doesn’t sound too far fetched 

[Retro*Derpy 3,182]

I can do metroid prime within half a day. I got the remastered on the switch and got to practice speedrun tech.

[FairyBarf 5]

- Smile For Me

- Ghost Giant

- Donut County

-any Pajama Sam game

[KatonRyu 1,033]

Stray. It's not the lengthiest game out there, nor is it particularly hard, but spending a few hours with a virtual cat is always fun.

[Moony the Cat 3,702]

I could beat Ridge Racer, Ridge Racer Revolution and even Ridge Racer Type 4 in a day i think. I mean all three of these games in a row.

The first 2 might just take me 2-3 Hours and then i would have enough time to also beat Type 4.

Once you know what the best route to take is, it only takes a few retrys and both RR and RR Revolution are really short games.

( i dont include the third game Rage Racer, because in that game i was never able to beat the last racing class sadly and the having to save money to buy cars might take a bit longer )

[Arrlong28 768]

I could beat Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis and a lot of Graphic Adventures like the Deponia saga.

 

[Cash In 22,226]

I'm pretty dedicated when starting a new game, so I've beaten a lot of games in a single day that range from 1-6 hours to finish normally. They are on the shorter end by today's standards, so mostly older stuff.

The longest game I managed to beat in a day, was probably Pokemon X/Y. I only managed to do it once and that was about a decade ago. :>

[Sir Hugsalot 9,288]

When I have too much free time on my hands and no creative ideas to spend it I can literally beat Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast in one go. It's because I actually know the game very well at this point so I can breeze through it based on my memory alone and it's also not the longest game. 

That and my way of beating it tends to be a bit speedrunny at times...

Being a teenager many years back, Sonic 1 and 2 on SEGA Genesis were accomplished in a day.  But points are taken off because I didn't get all Chaos Emeralds.  Special stages of game 2 had those too fast changing ramps  

[returned_dragon 135]

Super Dodgeball for the NES, no contest.

It's a fun game, but very short. You control three players on the court and have the AI or even a buddy (I think) control the other three on the sidelines. Every character can do a couple of special attacks that will rip the other team to shreds, and so it isn't very hard to just plow through most of your rivals. All of the other teams aren't very good in the first place, but there are two with special terrain to keep things interesting. India is the only stage that proves a hindrance due to their team's insane defensive power, but even they don't last long

There are only about eight levels plus the battle against your evil clones that appear after the defeat of the USSR team for some reason, and thus you can beat it pretty quickly. 

Definitely my favorite sports game of all time.

The Iceland Stage is probably the neatest.

 

[noxebox 26]

I could say Undertale because you can beat the main story for like 6-7hrs so this will be easy for everyone who even didnt know about game before

i highly recommend to play this game

I played that back in the day and beat it in well under a day. I also got A Maretime Bay Day Adventure done in two hours. Props to A Zephyr Heights Mystery for being the first MLP game I've played that's taken me over a day to complete. Also, long ago, when I was really into NES games, I beat The Karate Kid in just a few hours. The notion of this game being hard is definitely a misconception.
