Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ This clears in a weekend (5.1h 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 (6.5h to 100%).
- ✓ You enjoy tight, skill-based movement and level design.
- ✓ You like being made to think, not just react.
Skip It If...
- ✗ Reviews are mixed (63/100). It has fans, but it is not a consensus win.
- ✗ 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.
