Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ This clears in a weekend (2.8h main story), pick it up without derailing anything else in your backlog.
- ✓ You like squeezing every drop out of a game, there's a deep completionist path here (2.8h main vs 17h to fully clear).
- ✓ You want to master matchups and execution against other players or the CPU.
- ✓ You want pick-up-and-play sessions, not a big narrative commitment.
Skip It If...
- ✗ You want a game with real longevity. This is over almost as soon as it starts (2.8h main story).
- ✗ You mostly play solo story content. This is built around versus play.
- ✗ You want a deep story or long campaign. This is built for short bursts, not marathon sessions.
