Most gambled through

It’s all about this: The portal howlongtobeat.com provides us with statistics related to video games. As the name suggests, this is about the average or maximum playing time, for example, but the site reveals even more about our gaming behavior – or rather: the gaming behavior of the users who enter their data there. This is what the lists and the year breakdown are based on. So they are not necessarily general, but interesting nonetheless.

Most gambled through: In 2021 a monster-infested Romanian village was wandered through quite often, always with the aim of saving Baby Rose. Of course, we won’t reveal how the mission ends, but we will, of course, be talking about Resident Evil: Village.

According to the information on the site, the credits were achieved 2.5K times. It happened almost as often with Samus Aran in the Switch hit Metroid Dread. The number 2.2K is given here. In third place is the PS5 Exclusive Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. However, this has only packed 1.3K complete runs and is thus far behind.

Speed ​​runs, reviews and playing time: Resident Evil 8 also has the edge in most reviews and speed runs, again ahead of Metroid Dread in both cases. However, if you are not in a rush of speed, but rather want to spend a lot of time in a game, according to the statistics, you are with us Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous at the right address. Here 56 hours were specified for the main story, 119 hours were needed for those who also devoted themselves to extras in the isometric role-playing game.

Best rating: The community received the best ratings Mass Effect Legendary Edition. She achieved a proud score of 93 percent. After all, 90 percent of the time, there were three very different titles: The co-op relationship adventure It Takes Two, the Director’s Cut of Kojima’s idiosyncratic end-time game Death Stranding and the colorful one Chicory, behind the developers of popular indies.
