Check out howlongtobeat. It takes about 20 hours to complete main + side content. OP is just a really salty poster - take a look at his comment history.
So I went and looked. OP seems like a very unhappy individual. I found traces of the below plus a lot of the "whiney entitled gamer" archetype. I sure hope they find happiness someday.

"Stop Having Fun" Guys
TIL tvtropes has those tropes. I only knew about the Broken Base page. I am so keeping those for reference.
My favorite is Stop Having Fun, Guys. Broken Base hits too close to home for too many franchises I enjoy.
Lol a new monthly issue of a comic can cost about $4-$6, breakfast at a cheap diner can get $10-$20, a 2 hour movie can be $20+, and of course there are $60 video games selling that are less than 20 hours long. Its really funny how undervalued videogame entertainment is.
I like "cost per hour" which is what you're getting at.
Yeah I'd say that's a pretty good entertainment value per hour compared to other leisurely activities for me. I apply this to most entertainment things and it does help. I find comparing things to going to the movies is the best, if it's more per hour than a movie in a theater than no it's probably not worth it. Those stupid $50 slingshot rides? Nah.
