Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You've got a few solid weeks to give it (14.7h main story), long enough to sink in, short enough to actually finish.
- ✓ You like squeezing every drop out of a game, there's a deep completionist path here (14.7h main vs 121.1h to fully clear).
- ✓ You want quick matches you can dip into, not a long campaign.
- ✓ You want satisfying, high-impact combat more than slow exploration.
Skip It If...
- ✗ You're after a story-driven single-player experience. This is built around matches, not narrative.
- ✗ You'd rather explore and take things slow. This keeps you in near-constant combat.
