Open world role playing games are the best, especially when they refuse to end! You can almost treat ultra-long RPGs like a second life. If you like never-ending RPGs like that, check out the ranking of 20 longest RPG games to literally lose yourself in.
I’ve made the ranking based on the playtime of main story only. But you can see how much both main story only and main story + side quests take. Most RPGs take much longer to complete when you do all side quests. What’s more, with content mods, you can pump up the numbers over 9000!
Say goodbye to real life for a very long time if you’re thinking about starting one of those games below.
