What do you think is a good required completion time for video games? What examples come to mind of games that felt just right?

I used to like open world games that would take 50+ hours to beat but I feel like as I get older these games can be intimidating to even start and I often get sidetracked with other games frequently only getting half to three quarters of the way through.
Vanquish took me about six hours to beat and I think that's what I'm looking for these days. I like games that I can beat in one weekend. Eight hours I think is perfect for me.
It's led me to playing some GB(C) and NES games because they often feel a bit more finite.
I don't think I have a minimum. Little Misfortune and Bright Infinite Memory only took me about three hours to beat but I enjoyed the ride. If a game took under half an hour to beat, like some indie games, I might not be as invested or impacted enough to think about it much afterwards.
Edit: I'm not looking for a definitive answer. Just a ballpark.

I like a game I can keep playing forever. I just want to disappear in it.
Beware of Factorio
Do you like online games that continuously receive new content? Like subscription based games for example
Why would you get those? Just get a game that never ends, like Factorio. Or a competitive online game with individual servers.
I mean some people like the comradarie of tackling a story together. I wish I knew enough people to be one of those people at times
Well, I’ve played GTA online for 10 years and not paid a dime, yet get new content every few months.
