This is my dilemma with any single player game.  If it requires more
than 15 hours to complete, and requires some sort of continuity (i.e.
playing every day or two in order to stay engaged with the story),
it's just going to be problematic for my lifestyle.

Dying Light took me something like 20 hours to finish the campaign
with no sidequests, and while I enjoyed the ride it felt about twice
as long as any FPS campaign I've played in recent memory.  

There have been multiplayer games that I've played for hundreds of
hours, but that involves learning some tactics, and applying those
tactics in different situations over weeks or months, it's not the
same as trying to keep track of a story and which character is doing
what and which quest I'm on and why.

60 hour campaign?  I don't know how anyone does it.
