For example: (times as continuous playtime)
* Arcade games taking more than ~1 hour.
* Action game taking more than ~16 hours.
* Puzzle taking more than ~4 hours. (even ~1 hour may be a stretch, really)
* RPG taking more than ~72 hours (~3 days; older RPGs had a habit of potentially taking weeks).
* Strategy games taking more than ~26 hours.
* Action-adventure taking more than ~12 hours.
* Adventure games taking more than ~12 hours.
Note that this time should not include 100% completion (all secrets found, perfect score, all optional tasks completed, etc.) as usually that greatly extends the time used by the game.
In case of mixed genres, usually the longer reference value should be used though depending how the genres are mixed this may vary (e.g. tactical RPGs should probably use strategy game length).
Editor note: the times provided for now are guesstimates (especially for arcade, adventure, puzzle and strategy), comments about more appropriate reference values is appreciated.
