15 Great Games Where Every Minute of the Experience Feels Earned

UNCHARTED 2: AMONG THIEVES

It goes without saying that Naughty Dog is the master of the art of crafting reasonably long single-player narrative-driven experiences, and no game serves as a better example of that than Uncharted 2. You can blow through this blockbuster romp in just about 10-11 hours, and every second you spend with it earns its place in the game. From excellently written and performed cutscenes and character interactions to adrenaline-fueled combat, platforming, and cinematic set pieces, this is a game that values your time immensely.
