From the top of my mind, Europa Universalis 4. Even the base game takes ages to install, and I don't think it's just the Linux version.

Incidentally, I checked it in FitGirl's site, found EU5 instead, and she's complaining about the exact same thing:

Installation takes 5-12 minutes (depending on your system, mostly on your drive speed – the game has more than 49000 small files, Paradox never learn from their mistakes)

I did play EU5 (and 4 ages ago) and didn't notice the issue. I guess I just don't pay attention to it.

I did because my older computer was a potato, so it was kind of obvious the game took a bit too long to install.
