Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You're ready for a long-haul commitment (168.5h 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 (212.8h with extras, 351.4h to 100%).
- ✓ You like systems you can tinker with and optimize at your own pace.
- ✓ You want quick matches you can dip into, not a long campaign.
Skip It If...
- ✗ You only have small pockets of free time right now. This asks for a serious (168.5h+) commitment before the credits roll.
- ✗ You want a tight, authored story. This is open-ended by design, not scripted.
- ✗ You're after a story-driven single-player experience. This is built around matches, not narrative.
