Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You can finish this in a week of normal play (9.1h main story) without it eating your whole month.
- ✓ There's a solid chunk of extra content beyond the credits if you want more (13.5h with extras, 19.5h to 100%).
- ✓ You enjoy tight, skill-based movement and level design.
- ✓ You're playing for story and atmosphere first, mechanics second.
Skip It If...
- ✗ Precision platforming isn't your thing, some sections will test your patience more than your fun.
- ✗ You want mechanically deep gameplay. This prioritizes narrative pacing over systems.
