Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You've got a few solid weeks to give it (23.9h main story), long enough to sink in, short enough to actually finish.
- ✓ You like squeezing every drop out of a game, there's a deep completionist path here (23.9h main vs 150.1h to fully clear).
- ✓ You want to jump straight into the action, this is built for pace, not a slow ramp-up.
- ✓ You want your choices and character build to matter over dozens of hours.
Skip It If...
- ✗ You want a slow-burn story first. This leans on moment-to-moment combat over narrative depth.
- ✗ You'd rather see the credits roll in one sitting. RPGs ask for real investment before the story pays off.
