Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You're ready for a long-haul commitment (26.7h main story alone) and won't burn out halfway through.
- ✓ You like squeezing every drop out of a game, there's a deep completionist path here (26.7h main vs 72.2h to fully clear).
- ✓ You want your choices and character build to matter over dozens of hours.
- ✓ You're playing for story and atmosphere first, mechanics second.
Skip It If...
- ✗ You'd rather see the credits roll in one sitting. RPGs ask for real investment before the story pays off.
- ✗ You want mechanically deep gameplay. This prioritizes narrative pacing over systems.
