Geralt is in it for the long haul
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Notoriety is a long game. Just the introduction area of White Orchard, if you plan to clear the map, can take 15 to 20 hours to complete, and it's a fraction of the size of the base game's two main maps.

Mini games galore
There was a lot of unanimous agreement among the reviewers Final fantasy 7 rebirth It's a long game. The main campaign alone will take about 70 hours to complete, and that's while ignoring most of the side content. And boy, is there a lot of side content. Part 2 of this remake trilogy decided to move to an open-world map, and the developers managed to fill it with all kinds of interesting side activities.
The main culprit behind all that content creation are the roughly 30 mini-games found throughout the game. They are not even all in one place. While most of them are found on the Costa del Sol and the Gold Saucer, there are many others throughout the rest of the game. Finding and playing all of these will add several hours to your playthrough, and that doesn't even account for how long it actually takes you to win Queen's Blood matches, with some feature rule variations you have to account for.
