Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You're ready for a long-haul commitment (45.6h 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 (45.6h main vs 673h to fully clear).
- ✓ You want to juggle economy, army, and tactics all at once under time pressure.
- ✓ You like optimizing a build, economy, or army over reacting on instinct.
Skip It If...
- ✗ You only have small pockets of free time right now. This asks for a serious (45.6h+) commitment before the credits roll.
- ✗ You'd rather take your time with decisions. RTS punishes hesitation.
- ✗ You want to relax with something you can half-pay-attention to. Strategy punishes autopilot.
