Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You're ready for a long-haul commitment (28.4h main story alone) and won't burn out halfway through.
- ✓ There's a solid chunk of extra content beyond the credits if you want more (37.5h with extras, 46h to 100%).
- ✓ You want your choices and character build to matter over dozens of hours.
- ✓ You want satisfying, high-impact combat more than slow exploration.
Skip It If...
- ✗ You'd rather see the credits roll in one sitting. RPGs ask for real investment before the story pays off.
- ✗ You'd rather explore and take things slow. This keeps you in near-constant combat.
