Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You've got a few solid weeks to give it (13h main story), long enough to sink in, short enough to actually finish.
- ✓ There's a solid chunk of extra content beyond the credits if you want more (16.5h with extras, 29.9h to 100%).
- ✓ You enjoy tight, skill-based movement and level design.
- ✓ You want satisfying, high-impact combat more than slow exploration.
Skip It If...
- ✗ Reviews are mixed (62/100). It has fans, but it is not a consensus win.
- ✗ Precision platforming isn't your thing, some sections will test your patience more than your fun.
- ✗ You'd rather explore and take things slow. This keeps you in near-constant combat.
