Fire Emblem Switch 2 exclusive reportedly clocks over 100 hours

Fire Emblem Switch 2 exclusive reportedly clocks over 100 hours

Nintendo's new Switch 2 exclusive, Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, is a massive time commitment, according to Polygon. Their reviewer reportedly spent over 120 hours with the game, while other critics have logged between 160 and 200 hours on the title.

The article frames this lengthy playtime as a potential scheduling nightmare for players, especially with other major releases like a new World of Warcraft and a Zelda remake also on the horizon. The writer expresses a love for sprawling games but also notes the exhaustion that can come from such large-scale commitments.

Polygon also points out the physical space these games can occupy. While praising the new Switch 2 version of Diablo 4, the article notes its 71 GB install size can force players to delete other games from the console's storage.

The piece concludes by recommending smaller, more digestible games for those overwhelmed by Fortune's Weave's scale, specifically naming other Fire Emblem titles and a puzzle game called Woodo.
