Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ This clears in a weekend (5.2h main story), pick it up without derailing anything else in your backlog.
- ✓ There's a solid chunk of extra content beyond the credits if you want more (6.9h with extras, 7.6h to 100%).
- ✓ You enjoy tight, skill-based movement and level design.
- ✓ You're playing for story and atmosphere first, mechanics second.
Skip It If...
- ✗ Reviews are mixed (64/100). It has fans, but it is not a consensus win.
- ✗ Precision platforming isn't your thing, some sections will test your patience more than your fun.
- ✗ You want mechanically deep gameplay. This prioritizes narrative pacing over systems.
