Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You've got a few solid weeks to give it (17.3h 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 (17.3h main vs 48.5h 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.
