Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You're ready for a long-haul commitment (530.1h main story alone) and won't burn out halfway through.
- ✓ You want your choices and character build to matter over dozens of hours.
- ✓ You're playing for story and atmosphere first, mechanics second.
Skip It If...
- ✗ You only have small pockets of free time right now. This asks for a serious (530.1h+) 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 want mechanically deep gameplay. This prioritizes narrative pacing over systems.
