Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You're ready for a long-haul commitment (106h main story alone) and won't burn out halfway through.
- ✓ You like squeezing every drop out of a game, there's a deep completionist path here (106h main vs 758h to fully clear).
- ✓ You want your choices and character build to matter over dozens of hours.
- ✓ You want satisfying, high-impact combat more than slow exploration.
Skip It If...
- ✗ Reviews are mixed (63/100). It has fans, but it is not a consensus win.
- ✗ You only have small pockets of free time right now. This asks for a serious (106h+) commitment before the credits roll.
- ✗ You'd rather see the credits roll in one sitting. RPGs ask for real investment before the story pays off.
- ✗ You'd rather explore and take things slow. This keeps you in near-constant combat.
