Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You've got a few solid weeks to give it (12.3h main story), long enough to sink in, short enough to actually finish.
- ✓ There's a solid chunk of extra content beyond the credits if you want more (21.1h with extras, 26.5h to 100%).
- ✓ You want to jump straight into the action, this is built for pace, not a slow ramp-up.
- ✓ You want fast, skill-based sessions you can play in short bursts.
Skip It If...
- ✗ You want a slow-burn story first. This leans on moment-to-moment combat over narrative depth.
- ✗ You want story and character. This is about the track, not the plot.
