Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You can finish this in a week of normal play (7.6h main story) without it eating your whole month.
- ✓ There's a solid chunk of extra content beyond the credits if you want more (9.6h with extras, 14.5h to 100%).
- ✓ You enjoy tight, skill-based movement and level design.
- ✓ You're playing for story and atmosphere first, mechanics second.
Skip It If...
- ✗ Reviews are rough here (27/100). Treat this as a gamble, not a safe pick.
- ✗ 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.
