It all taking place in real time over the course of a single day/night is preferred but not necessary.

You'd probably like the other Remedy games like Alan Wake, Quantum Break and Control.

Hoping to find a hidden gem, ive realized that one night in Hell games are among my favorites.

Not a shooter but Batman Arkham Asylum fits the bill.

Also Resident Evil 2 and 3 Remakes can be beaten in 8 hours or less.

All 3 might be my favorite video games ever.

The only thing I didnt like about 3 was how loud and busy it was, the game constantly hurried you along from place to place where the first 2 had downtime where youre just exploring quiet areas at night and killing enemies 1 and 2 at a time.

Binary Domain could be worth checking out - it is more of a generic cover shooter but it had a surprisingly interesting plot once you play through the first couple of hours. I gave up on it the first time or two I played it just because it felt soooo generic and the enemies weren't that interesting, but it picks up.

Spec Ops: The Line - also has a very generic cover shooter feel but *really* great writing, made me physically ill a couple of times.

Moons of Madness is a fun first person story, it's like... 80% walking simulator, 15% puzzle solving, 5% running away from scary shit.

It's a beat-em-up. Fun game and it has co-op.

max payne 3 had so many weird technical problems on the 360 that it almost ruined my experience with it.the game itself is really cool and probably the closest a game has ever come to that jon woo gunfight feeling that all 3 went for, but every time i played it i was beset by insane loading times and at one point my save data just vanished at around the halfway point of the game and i had to do the whole thing against from the beginning

I mean, it's a fundamental story aspect of most horror/suspense media for the protagonist to "survive the long and relentless night-mare".

On that note, there's Alien Isolation although first timers might chug along into the 10-15hr range so idk

True, but I was thinking more along the lines of Die Hard, which MGS1 reminds me of so goddamn much.

Stranglehold seems pretty awesome, though its basically Chinese Max Payne so its kinda cheating its way into my interest.

Sucks its not backwards compatible though.

Good recommendation but ive played it, though honestly this one felt like Sams Choice Max Payne and the voice acting was absolutely hilarious.

Gameplay was pretty solid though.
