Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You're ready for a long-haul commitment (37.8h main story alone) and won't burn out halfway through.
- ✓ You like squeezing every drop out of a game, there's a deep completionist path here (37.8h main vs 546h to fully clear).
- ✓ You like being made to think, not just react.
- ✓ You want your choices and character build to matter over dozens of hours.
Skip It If...
- ✗ You only have small pockets of free time right now. This asks for a serious (37.8h+) commitment before the credits roll.
- ✗ You want fast-paced action. This asks you to slow down and solve, not react.
- ✗ You'd rather see the credits roll in one sitting. RPGs ask for real investment before the story pays off.
