Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You can finish this in a week of normal play (8.3h main story) without it eating your whole month.
- ✓ There's a solid chunk of extra content beyond the credits if you want more (9.9h with extras, 17.3h to 100%).
- ✓ You want to jump straight into the action, this is built for pace, not a slow ramp-up.
- ✓ You like systems you can tinker with and optimize at your own pace.
Skip It If...
- ✗ You want a slow-burn story first. This leans on moment-to-moment combat over narrative depth.
- ✗ You want a tight, authored story. This is open-ended by design, not scripted.
