      Even for games with fast timescales that is insanely fast. You barely have time to take in the environment and scenery before weather changes and the sun goes down or rises again. You can start a gunfight in the morning and finish after nightfall. For a game that lives and dies by immersion it completely pulls you out - at least it does me.

          Witcher 3 had 96 minute days, which felt fine for that game. Any game I play for immersion usually ends up needing a mod though because timescales are often a problem. RDR2 shouldn’t have 48 minute days either, that one was even worse than Stalker 2.

          If you play slowly and focus on immersion - and the game has survival mechanics - I find somewhere between 4-6 hour days to be perfect.
