Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ This clears in a weekend (4h main story), pick it up without derailing anything else in your backlog.
- ✓ There's a solid chunk of extra content beyond the credits if you want more (4.6h with extras, 7.1h to 100%).
- ✓ 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 a game with real longevity. This is over almost as soon as it starts (4h main story).
- ✗ 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.
