Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ This clears in a weekend (3.6h 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 (4.2h with extras, 6.7h to 100%).
- ✓ You enjoy tight, skill-based movement and level design.
- ✓ You like being made to think, not just react.
Skip It If...
- ✗ You want a game with real longevity. This is over almost as soon as it starts (3.6h main story).
- ✗ Precision platforming isn't your thing, some sections will test your patience more than your fun.
- ✗ You want fast-paced action. This asks you to slow down and solve, not react.
