Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ This clears in a weekend (0.9h main story), pick it up without derailing anything else in your backlog.
- ✓ You like squeezing every drop out of a game, there's a deep completionist path here (0.9h main vs 22h to fully clear).
- ✓ You want to master matchups and execution against other players or the CPU.
- ✓ You want satisfying, high-impact combat more than slow exploration.
Skip It If...
- ✗ You want a game with real longevity. This is over almost as soon as it starts (0.9h main story).
- ✗ You mostly play solo story content. This is built around versus play.
- ✗ You'd rather explore and take things slow. This keeps you in near-constant combat.
