Guessing you don't even know what Wonder boy is. It isn't a full priced game. It cost $20. So you're suggesting games that cost $10, or even $5. While suggesting games like "Yooka Laylee" which will cost $40 when it comes out.

By full priced I meant a game without any discount. Sry for the confusion.

$20 for a 5 hour game (Wonder Boy). Too much IMO. When I buy games I try to get 1 hour out of it for every € I pay.
Yooka Laylee is $40 for 15-20 hours.

So for Wonder Boy I wouldn't spend much more than $5. For Yooka Laylee ~15€ (lowest price I've seen thus far for the retail version was 24€ so we're getting there).

I think that's an admirable goal, but it can backfire. Yooka-Laylee, for example, plays poorly for 20+ hours, whereas Wonder Boy plays like a dream for a fraction of that. If a game is a slog to get through, the extra hours become a liability, don't you think?
