The size of Horizon Forbidden West all comes down to what’s important to you and what you plan to finish. Suppose you’re planning to focus entirely on the game’s story, jumping from the main missions to the other activities, not touching too much on the side quests. In that case, you can complete the game in roughly 25 to 30 hours, depending on the difficulty. Some players might be able to squeeze closer to 20 hours, though.

However, if you’re looking to complete a longer adventure, run through the various side content, and check out everything Horizon Forbidden West has to offer, you’re looking at closer to 40 to 45 hours. This, again, all comes down to the difficulty of the game, which factors into everything, and how quickly you can adapt to it. Regardless, the game is not going to eat up weeks of your time, but it will take you more than a single weekend to complete.
