Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You've got a few solid weeks to give it (14.9h main story), long enough to sink in, short enough to actually finish.
- ✓ It's tight: finish the main story and you've basically seen everything (17.2h to 100%).
- ✓ You enjoy tight, skill-based movement and level design.
- ✓ You're playing for story and atmosphere first, mechanics second.
Skip It If...
- ✗ Precision platforming isn't your thing, some sections will test your patience more than your fun.
- ✗ You want mechanically deep gameplay. This prioritizes narrative pacing over systems.
