Depends on the game, the genre, what I know of reviews. I want content but no bloat so it's less the hours but what the experience will be for those hours, I want quality but not at the expense of fun so a big budget means fuck all if the game is like Hellblade 2 for example but I also expect a certain level of quality and production for the money, Nintendo nor Xbox aren't providing that for the most part apart from a few titles. However I do not mind jank when the game if appropriately priced and has very good sales, I got Robocop for less than 10 and I wasn't disappointed.
Hours of content while important means very little when Vampire Survivors for 4,99 had near 70 hours of gameplay as a 10/10 game and FF16 a 5 or 6 at the most for 50ish on sale has those same hours if your were to do the side content, I only spent 32 hours in it for the story but it's the most generic filler, mediocre, monotonous, repetitive nonsense content ever put in a game.
Recently I didn't mind spending 20 euro on KARMA The Dark world cause it was a high quality, good game but only 8 hours and a 7/10 but I did feel like I should have waited for a sale, if even a light one on Black Myth Wu Kong which at 69,99 gave me 69 hours and was a 9/10 so overall it really does depend.
