Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You can finish this in a week of normal play (10.1h main story) without it eating your whole month.
- ✓ It's tight: finish the main story and you've basically seen everything (10.5h to 100%).
- ✓ You want satisfying, high-impact combat more than slow exploration.
- ✓ You're playing for story and atmosphere first, mechanics second.
Skip It If...
- ✗ You'd rather explore and take things slow. This keeps you in near-constant combat.
- ✗ You want mechanically deep gameplay. This prioritizes narrative pacing over systems.
