Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ This clears in a weekend (5h main story), pick it up without derailing anything else in your backlog.
- ✓ It's tight: finish the main story and you've basically seen everything (5.8h to 100%).
- ✓ You want to jump straight into the action, this is built for pace, not a slow ramp-up.
- ✓ You enjoy tight, skill-based movement and level design.
Skip It If...
- ✗ You want a slow-burn story first. This leans on moment-to-moment combat over narrative depth.
- ✗ Precision platforming isn't your thing, some sections will test your patience more than your fun.
