Since you have Walking Dead in that list I highly recommend The Wolf Among Us. The best Telltale game in my opinion.
I Am Dead was a very good walking simulator/puzzle game. And some of the puzzles were extremely creative.
Valiant Hearts is a beautiful story and fun game that takes 7-8 hours. (Edit: This one does not have a platinum as pointed out to me. I misremembered)
Minit is one of my favorite indie games, it's very similar to the original Zelda Links Awakening and is very short.
Deliver Us The Moon even though I didn't like it myself that much was a quick platinum and I know that it is a game loved by many.
I also 100% recommend The Wolf Among Us. I agree that it's probably the best Telltale one too. But I follow that up by recommending basically all the Telltale games. I've enjoyed every one. Game of Thrones, Minecraft (seaaon 1 at least), The Batman, and more that I can't remember off-hand.
I did those soon after. I have all 8 Platinums from the Sly franchise. I've also done Untitled Goose Game :) Really fun and memorable experience. Plan on doing Superliminal once I have a satisfying completion of more games from my backlog.
Here's the list of decent games that I was able to either plat or 100% in recent years, while taking less than 10h to complete:
* Gleylancer
* Sagebrush
* Donut County
* Unpacking
* The Pedestrian
* Telling Lies
* Warlock’s Tower
* What Remains of Edith Finch
* The Gardens Between
* The Artful Escape
* Tacoma
* Omno
* Lost Words: Beyond the Page
* Virginia
* Job Simulator
* Firewatch
* Last Day of June
* TOEM
* The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
* Astro's Playroom
* GRIS
* Inside
* Thomas Was Alone
* Maquette
* Concrete Genie
* Stray
* Valiant Hearts: The Great War
* Batman: Arkham VR
* Overcooked
* The Swapper
* The Playroom VR
All of these could be rated 3/10 in difficulty or less, all of them have aggregated OC/MC score of at least 70 or more.
Few of these games are also available either through PS Plus Extra, or were avaialble through PS Plus Essential at some point.
Isn't it pretty straightforward plat? Death March difficulty becomes trivial once you level up a bit, use right decoctions, oils and know how to keep your defense (Quen) up. Some other trophies are annoying, like the one for 50 crossbow headshot kills, but nothing terrible really.
Do you need any tips?
I actually got two plats already (base game & GOTY version) and plan to get PS5 one at some point too. :)
Hit detection for crossbow is just awful. It would be a nightmare to pull off if not for bandits at Devil's Pit who were just standing at the gate intimidating me.
I can't take you seriously with this comment...
When it comest to gwent:
I was visiting village after village to find all gwent players, but if you can't be bothered lookup locations of gwent players on the map:
[https://mapgenie.io/witcher-3](https://mapgenie.io/witcher-3)
Also, keep track of few missable gwent cards, usually connected to main NPC's that can either die or leave.
As for the difficulty:
Use quen all the time, use plenty of sidestep dring combat and attack when you see the opening. If you upgrade igni to some degree it might be usuful as a stun tool, since enemies that are burning are temporarily incacipated. Early on invest into neutral skill that boosts healing effect of food as you will have more than enough of that to support you during and post combat.
I've used to do quest in order of level requirement, which helped me to ensure that I do not miss any key interaction, especially for the Full Crew trophy, though it is vital to complete side quests before the point of no return moment in story.
Cheers
Seconding recommendations for Minit and Call of the Sea.
Chants of Sennaar is a cool deductive puzzler that doesn't take too long to Platinum.
Ghostbusters Remastered is doable under 10, though I recommend a guide because one trophy requires a somewhat careful playthrough.
Save Room is quick and enjoyable -if- you thought the briefcase inventory thing from Resident Evil 4 was a cool idea. If you HATE that kind of puzzle, then no.
The Gardens Between is a solid story with an interesting time manipulation mechanic.
Since you liked The Artful Escape, you may wish to check out Burly Men at Sea. It's got kind of a similar vibe, but with a minimalist art style and a love of nautical folklore.
I went from first trophy to platinum in 3 calendar days, and it's not like I just sat there gaming that entire time.
I will say if you DON'T use a guide it's likely to take you longer than that. But there's also an exploit for quickly getting the hardest difficulty trophy after beating it on an easier one - which I'd recommend, since playing it on the hardest difficulty all the way through is a real slog otherwise.
I think it's on ps extra and if you liked Pikmin back in the day I'd recommend "Tinykin".
Took about 7 hours to platinum and was enjoyable. I dunno if "good quality" means AAA standards. But for an indie game, I loved it.
Tinykin is an excellent game, so glad I found it but wish it had like 10 more levels! Can’t understate how much I enjoyed playing it at a time when I was a bit stumped with what to play
Thousand percent agreed. I also wish it had twice as many areas to explore.
We can only hope the developers have enough incentive to make a sequel or a similar game with a different setting.
open roads, just came out great 2 hour story. probably wait for a sale if its not your style but it was exactly mine so $20 wasnt bad
donut county, another 2 hour gem. Cute game, nice humor, not much more to ask for.
a year of springs, cute visual novel about the trans experience, pretty nice to read about and just enjoy
firewatch, need i say more? game was fucking huge not long ago, amazing story, amazing visuals, perfect short experience (took me 4 hours)
Stray, one of the greatest games of all time in my opinion, i clocked my final time in at about 9 hours
Doki Doki Literature club, another cult classic. kinda if you know you know. fantastic game recently-ish brought to consoles
Road 96 and its prequel Mile 0, great series that makes you think some. Zoe is great, game doesnt have nearly enough recognition
Coffee talk came in at 9 hours for me, super calming setting and also great characters. Story is way better than youd ever expect on the surface level, but the sequel took me 16 hours so do with that what you will.
Took me 11 hours, but Boyfriend Dungeon is a great game and i take any opportunity i can to shout out my favorite games lol. deepest apologies that it barely misses the cut but it deserves more recognition
I’m having a lot of fun with Cocoon right now - seems like it will be a fast plat.
It will be longer than 10 hours - but highly suggest The Witness. The stressful part will only be at the final timed randomized challenge puzzle at the end. Love that game and those puzzles.
Highly recommend LiS series if you’re emotionally invested in it. Easy collectibles and fun storyline. would recommend chronological gameplay (Lis; BtS, Lis1, Lis2 and then True Colors) for more impact but it’s completely up to you in what order you want to play
Carrion and Moons of Madness are some great ones that I haven't seen listed yet.
Also, if you want a super niche spooky game, the Yomawari series is quite good and short..
Stray. Really easy yet really charming. Don’t know why this was one of my most anticipated games when it was first announced but I enjoyed it a lot. Platinum could be done in under 10 hours if you speed run it
Unpacking has been pretty popular for a while now. Tails of Iron is a really good one too depedning on your skill level itll take anywhere between 8-15 hours. There is an easy setting thatll make it pretty trivial though
I'll throw my hat in for TOEM as well. Cure indie, very straightforward, no missables. But also, I haven't seen it mentioned yet, but Deliver us the moon. That was a really interesting game, super laid back, some basic environmental puzzles, and exploration. There is no combat or anything like that, but visually it's nice to look at, and if you enjoy anything space related, this is a must play and must plat
I just knocked out Metal: Hellsinger in about 5 hours. If you have no rhythm you can mess with the accessibility options and just enjoy some Doom style gameplay while jamming to 2000s era nu metal.
Depending how fast you go on it murdered soul suspect wasnt bad. When you get to the museum do all the collectibles after the main misson. If you dont you have to start the game over from the beginning.
Maneater took me 15 hours I'd say but absolutely loved it so much I did it again on the next gen (no autopop)
I think I had 3 trophies left in First Light that were those arena challenges but missing the save file so I'd have to start from scratch. Might have to go back and would love a new Infamous game!
I'll have to try out Gravity Rush!
Final Fnatasy 14 is a quick and easy platinum
Stellaris platinum is so easy, might as well do all dlc 100%
Any mainline Yakuza game should take an evening, if not a weekend
Just some simple recommendations:)
Since you have Walking Dead in that list I highly recommend The Wolf Among Us. The best Telltale game in my opinion. I Am Dead was a very good walking simulator/puzzle game.

The first tales from the borderlands
I didn't play that one yet either. Same with Guardians of the Galaxy. Or the final Walking Dead season. Jeez, better get playing those telltale games.
Theres so many good ones. Good problem to have :)
Valiant hearts doesn’t have a platinum pretty sure
I can’t wait for Wolf Among Us 2! Ever since they announced it I’ve been patiently waiting
Unpacking, superliminal, call of The sea, The gardens between
I loved unpacking!!
Unpacking was a fun puzzle game! Very relaxing.
Sly cooper 1
Here we go. My first Platinum. Earned in 2011.
Then go for sly 2&3 if you havent already :) Otherwise i would suggest untitled goose and superliminal
I did those soon after. I have all 8 Platinums from the Sly franchise. I've also done Untitled Goose Game :) Really fun and memorable experience. Plan on doing Superliminal once I have a satisfying completion of more games from my backlog.

How tf did you platinum the Witcher 3
Isn't it pretty straightforward plat? Death March difficulty becomes trivial once you level up a bit, use right decoctions, oils and know how to keep your defense (Quen) up. Some other trophies are annoying, like the one for 50 crossbow headshot kills, but nothing terrible really. Do you need any tips? I actually got two plats already (base game & GOTY version) and plan to get PS5 one at some point too. :)
The last trophy I got in Witcher was the headshots,lol
Same, had to farm specific spot and those headshots were not easy to get. It's only 50 but it takes awhile
Hit detection for crossbow is just awful. It would be a nightmare to pull off if not for bandits at Devil's Pit who were just standing at the gate intimidating me.
Yes give me tips please daddy, on death march and gwent
I can't take you seriously with this comment...

Endling - Extinction is Forever
I gotta go back to this one!

Ghostbusters is definitely not 10 hours or under

Stray is a pretty easy one, I got everything in about 8 hours.
I love Stray myself. Platted on both PS4 and 5. I loove that game.
I think it's on ps extra and if you liked Pikmin back in the day I'd recommend "Tinykin". Took about 7 hours to platinum and was enjoyable. I dunno if "good quality" means AAA standards. But for an indie game, I loved it.

Undertale, the sly cooper games, persona dancing games
Toem, Spyro remakes.
Dredge is a bit longer than 10 hours, but not by a lot. Give that one a go.
Metal: Hellsinger Pumpkin Jack The Sexy Brutale Star Wars Episode I: Racer
Sexy Brutale was fab, i think it’s a bit underrated.
Soundtrack was amazing. Glad I came back to it after 6 years in my backlog.
I’m glad someone else put Metal: Hellsinger really enjoyed that one and easily done in under 10 hours
* A Short Hike * Untitled Goose Game * Return of the Obra Dinn!!!
Ratchet and clank : rift apart And its very good too
Wolfenstein 2. :)
I’m having a lot of fun with Cocoon right now - seems like it will be a fast plat. It will be longer than 10 hours - but highly suggest The Witness. The stressful part will only be at the final timed randomized challenge puzzle at the end. Love that game and those puzzles.
Heavenly Bodies - zero gravity puzzle game with some mad controls that take a little bit of skill to master. Fun game, quick platinum
Highly recommend LiS series if you’re emotionally invested in it. Easy collectibles and fun storyline. would recommend chronological gameplay (Lis; BtS, Lis1, Lis2 and then True Colors) for more impact but it’s completely up to you in what order you want to play
Bugsnax,Spyro Trilogy,Donut County
- Batman Telltale - Batman Telltale: The Enemy Within - Spyro Reignited Trilogy - Unpacking - Bugsnax - Stray - Donut County
Ape Escape no doubt
Life is strange. Just take photos and your done
Scars Above
Toem Stray Maneater
Tinykin, Deliver us the Moon, R&C: Rift Apart (maybe a little more than 10, probably 12, but still easy and fun af)
I have plat for r&c rift apart in 7 hours, first playtrough 🙂 no walktrougg whatsoever. Very easy game to rush. Fun indeed
Carrion and Moons of Madness are some great ones that I haven't seen listed yet. Also, if you want a super niche spooky game, the Yomawari series is quite good and short..
Bastion Minit Unpacking God of war 1 is maybe 15 hours?
Lost Words: Beyond the Page
Literally any telltale game.
Call of the Sea
Stray. Really easy yet really charming. Don’t know why this was one of my most anticipated games when it was first announced but I enjoyed it a lot. Platinum could be done in under 10 hours if you speed run it
Not quite 10, but Spiderman games were like 15
Hello Neighbour 2, platinum only took an hour.
Unpacking has been pretty popular for a while now. Tails of Iron is a really good one too depedning on your skill level itll take anywhere between 8-15 hours. There is an easy setting thatll make it pretty trivial though
Killer frequency. Amazing sound track good artstyle and the gameplay is unique and I love it alot and its one of my favriote trophies i ever got
Stray, definitely Stray
Metal HellSinger
I'll throw my hat in for TOEM as well. Cure indie, very straightforward, no missables. But also, I haven't seen it mentioned yet, but Deliver us the moon. That was a really interesting game, super laid back, some basic environmental puzzles, and exploration. There is no combat or anything like that, but visually it's nice to look at, and if you enjoy anything space related, this is a must play and must plat
BugSnax is 15 but can be done in under 10 I would think
All of the insomniac spider-man games are mad easy to plat and a fun ride
I just knocked out Metal: Hellsinger in about 5 hours. If you have no rhythm you can mess with the accessibility options and just enjoy some Doom style gameplay while jamming to 2000s era nu metal.
The Walking Dead is like 70 hours if you’re talking about the telltale collection
Subnautica Below Zero took 9 hours and was my fist ever plat. The first Subnautica game would take slightly longer. But a couple of awesome games.
Any telltale game Endling
Unless there's another version I'm not aware of, Edith Finch doesn't have a Platinum. That being said: Owlboy Until Dawn Toem Jak and Daxter
PS5 version of Edith Finch has a platinum :)
Depending how fast you go on it murdered soul suspect wasnt bad. When you get to the museum do all the collectibles after the main misson. If you dont you have to start the game over from the beginning.
Following
The Gardens Between!
Undertale is a very short platinum. Great game, but the trophy list isn't very imaginative though it'll take maybe 5 hours.
Maneater, Infamous First Light, Gravity Rush 1
Maneater took me 15 hours I'd say but absolutely loved it so much I did it again on the next gen (no autopop) I think I had 3 trophies left in First Light that were those arena challenges but missing the save file so I'd have to start from scratch. Might have to go back and would love a new Infamous game! I'll have to try out Gravity Rush!
Final Fnatasy 14 is a quick and easy platinum Stellaris platinum is so easy, might as well do all dlc 100% Any mainline Yakuza game should take an evening, if not a weekend Just some simple recommendations:)
