Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You can finish this in a week of normal play (9.1h main story) without it eating your whole month.
- ✓ It's tight: finish the main story and you've basically seen everything (11h to 100%).
- ✓ You like being made to think, not just react.
- ✓ You're playing for story and atmosphere first, mechanics second.
Skip It If...
- ✗ You want fast-paced action. This asks you to slow down and solve, not react.
- ✗ You want mechanically deep gameplay. This prioritizes narrative pacing over systems.
