GameShelfHowLongToBeat times for every game on your shelf
GameShelf puts HowLongToBeat completion times on every game page, then puts them to work: filtering your backlog by how long games take, and working out which of your Steam games you’ve actually finished.

What you get
Three times on every game page
Main Story, Main + Sides, and Completionist hours, right next to the game’s details. Multiplayer-only games show a single Vs. figure instead.
Pick a game that fits your evening
The Play Next roulette asks how deep you want to dive — Quick hit (under 10 hours), Weekend run (10–25 hours), or Epic saga (25+ hours) — and picks from your backlog, wishlist, or trending games using HowLongToBeat main-story hours.
Smarter Steam import
When you sync Steam, games you’ve played for at least 75% of their HowLongToBeat main-story time are added as Played — so a game you tried for twenty minutes doesn’t count as finished.
Next to the Metacritic scores
The HowLongToBeat card sits alongside the Metacritic critic and user scores, so “is it good?” and “how long is it?” are answered in one place.
