Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ This clears in a weekend (4.5h main story), pick it up without derailing anything else in your backlog.
- ✓ There's a solid chunk of extra content beyond the credits if you want more (5.7h with extras, 6.3h to 100%).
- ✓ You want to jump straight into the action, this is built for pace, not a slow ramp-up.
- ✓ You're playing for story and atmosphere first, mechanics second.
Skip It If...
- ✗ You want a slow-burn story first. This leans on moment-to-moment combat over narrative depth.
- ✗ You want mechanically deep gameplay. This prioritizes narrative pacing over systems.
