Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You've got a few solid weeks to give it (16.4h 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 (16.4h main vs 46.4h to fully clear).
- ✓ You want to jump straight into the action, this is built for pace, not a slow ramp-up.
- ✓ You like being made to think, not just react.
Skip It If...
- ✗ You want a slow-burn story first. This leans on moment-to-moment combat over narrative depth.
- ✗ You want fast-paced action. This asks you to slow down and solve, not react.
