Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You're ready for a long-haul commitment (29.6h main story alone) and won't burn out halfway through.
- ✓ There's a solid chunk of extra content beyond the credits if you want more (38.4h with extras, 40.4h to 100%).
- ✓ You want to juggle economy, army, and tactics all at once under time pressure.
- ✓ You want your choices and character build to matter over dozens of hours.
Skip It If...
- ✗ You'd rather take your time with decisions. RTS punishes hesitation.
- ✗ You'd rather see the credits roll in one sitting. RPGs ask for real investment before the story pays off.
