QUICK ANSWER
A representative review playthrough took about 15 hours for the campaign and roughly five more hours to revisit chapters for missed collectibles. PowerPyx estimates about 20 hours for the Platinum.
Practical time estimates
TechRadar's reviewer reports finishing the campaign in about 15 hours and spending around five additional hours revisiting chapters for missed collectibles. PowerPyx independently gives an approximate 20-hour Platinum roadmap.
Use those as observed examples, not a guaranteed stopwatch. Difficulty, puzzle hints, exploration and the number of collectibles you follow on the first run can move your total.
| Goal | Evidence-based planning range |
|---|---|
| Story-focused run | About 15 hours in TechRadar's review run |
| Story plus cleanup | About 20 hours in the same review account |
| Platinum | About 20 hours in PowerPyx's roadmap |
What makes a run longer
There are 14 chapters, many environmental puzzles and 275 trophy-related collectible locations in the completion route. Turning off puzzle help, searching every side ledge or missing the 165 Resonance Point single-run requirement adds time.
A clean completion strategy is to follow the chronological collectible route during the story, then use Chapter Select only for regular Artefacts, Charms, Blades and combat trophies.

Can I finish Resonance in a weekend?
