Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ This clears in a weekend (0.5h main story), pick it up without derailing anything else in your backlog.
- ✓ You like systems you can tinker with and optimize at your own pace.
- ✓ You want pick-up-and-play sessions, not a big narrative commitment.
Skip It If...
- ✗ Reviews are mixed (64/100). It has fans, but it is not a consensus win.
- ✗ You want a game with real longevity. This is over almost as soon as it starts (0.5h main story).
- ✗ You want a tight, authored story. This is open-ended by design, not scripted.
- ✗ You want a deep story or long campaign. This is built for short bursts, not marathon sessions.
