Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You're ready for a long-haul commitment (47.6h main story alone) and won't burn out halfway through.
- ✓ There's a solid chunk of extra content beyond the credits if you want more (79.7h with extras, 112.7h to 100%).
- ✓ You want your choices and character build to matter over dozens of hours.
- ✓ You like planning several moves ahead over reacting in real time.
Skip It If...
- ✗ You only have small pockets of free time right now. This asks for a serious (47.6h+) 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 fast, reflex-based action. Turn-based strategy runs on patience, not quick reflexes.
