Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You can finish this in a week of normal play (6.4h main story) without it eating your whole month.
- ✓ You like squeezing every drop out of a game, there's a deep completionist path here (6.4h main vs 29.1h to fully clear).
- ✓ 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.
