Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You can finish this in a week of normal play (10.8h main story) without it eating your whole month.
- ✓ It's tight: finish the main story and you've basically seen everything (12.4h to 100%).
- ✓ You want to jump straight into the action, this is built for pace, not a slow ramp-up.
- ✓ You're playing for story and atmosphere first, mechanics second.
Skip It If...
- ✗ Reviews are mixed (64/100). It has fans, but it is not a consensus win.
- ✗ You want a slow-burn story first. This leans on moment-to-moment combat over narrative depth.
- ✗ You want mechanically deep gameplay. This prioritizes narrative pacing over systems.
