Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ This clears in a weekend (5.1h main story), pick it up without derailing anything else in your backlog.
- ✓ You like squeezing every drop out of a game, there's a deep completionist path here (5.1h main vs 39.7h to fully clear).
- ✓ You want rhythm-based gameplay tied to the soundtrack.
Skip It If...
- ✗ Reviews are mixed (56/100). It has fans, but it is not a consensus win.
- ✗ You want story or exploration. This is built around rhythm, not narrative.
