007 First Light’s 20-hour playtime is perfect for an action video game

There are plenty of cyclical arguments in gaming, but few are more mind-numbing than the cost-time argument: that a so-called short game “isn’t worth” its sticker price. May’s release of 007 First Light, which sports a 20-hour runtime, seems to have reignited this interminable debate. I recently finished 007 First Light. It took me about 20 hours. Also? 20 hours is the perfect length of a video game.
