Should You Play It?
Worth It If...
- ✓ You've got a few solid weeks to give it (20.6h 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 (20.6h main vs 91.8h to fully clear).
- ✓ You want your choices and character build to matter over dozens of hours.
- ✓ You like systems you can tinker with and optimize at your own pace.
Skip It If...
- ✗ You'd rather see the credits roll in one sitting. RPGs ask for real investment before the story pays off.
- ✗ You want a tight, authored story. This is open-ended by design, not scripted.
