Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You've got a few solid weeks to give it (21.7h main story), long enough to sink in, short enough to actually finish.
- ✓ You like squeezing every drop out of a game, there's a deep completionist path here (21.7h main vs 430.5h to fully clear).
- ✓ You like systems you can tinker with and optimize at your own pace.
- ✓ You want quick matches you can dip into, not a long campaign.
Skip It If...
- ✗ You want a tight, authored story. This is open-ended by design, not scripted.
- ✗ You're after a story-driven single-player experience. This is built around matches, not narrative.
