Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You've got a few solid weeks to give it (15.8h 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 (15.8h main vs 58.8h to fully clear).
- ✓ You like being made to think, not just react.
- ✓ You like systems you can tinker with and optimize at your own pace.
Skip It If...
- ✗ You want fast-paced action. This asks you to slow down and solve, not react.
- ✗ You want a tight, authored story. This is open-ended by design, not scripted.
