Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You've got a few solid weeks to give it (21.3h 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 (21.3h main vs 64.5h to fully clear).
- ✓ You like optimizing a build, economy, or army over reacting on instinct.
- ✓ You like planning several moves ahead over reacting in real time.
Skip It If...
- ✗ You want to relax with something you can half-pay-attention to. Strategy punishes autopilot.
- ✗ You want fast, reflex-based action. Turn-based strategy runs on patience, not quick reflexes.
