Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You can finish this in a week of normal play (11.3h main story) without it eating your whole month.
- ✓ You like squeezing every drop out of a game, there's a deep completionist path here (11.3h main vs 45h to fully clear).
- ✓ You like systems you can tinker with and optimize at your own pace.
- ✓ You like optimizing a build, economy, or army over reacting on instinct.
Skip It If...
- ✗ You want a tight, authored story. This is open-ended by design, not scripted.
- ✗ You want to relax with something you can half-pay-attention to. Strategy punishes autopilot.
