People plays their game differently.

I mean, Samus Returns took me about 15 hours to complete (Ok it took me 30+ min. to beat Diggernaut lol) but I remember people posting as they did it in less than 10 hours. 

Exploration based games tend to vary playtime more than other games in my opinion

Yeah, I seem to be pretty slow at Metroidvanias in general. Most 2D Metroids took me around 10 hours, the Prime ones closer to 25. Hollow Knight, 45. Ori and the Blind Forest 10 hours, Will of the Wisps 16. When I see other people's numbers mine always look higher lol.

But with the Metroid games there's a difference between the in-game timer, and the time you actually spent on it. Pretty sure when I first beat Super Metroid the in-game timer was something around 6 hours, but on the Wii U's log thingy it said 8 or 9 hours. Ultimately the latter is much closer to reality as the first timer doesn't include the cutscenes or transitions or anything that isn't gameplay really. But I only know the real time because I played these on the Wii U.

Samus Returns took me almost 20 hours, Ori and the Blind Forest over 20 hours, Ori and the Will of the Wisps 30 hours. I take much longer.
