What eats the hours
Six long chapters
Levels are big and non-linear — off-path secrets, side quests and optional bosses everywhere.
Secret areas & bosses
Erlang Shen, the Loong questline and the chapter secret areas are real meat — skipping them cuts your run short.
New Game Plus
New Cycle carries your gear and adds more to chase — hours scale well past 80 if you go again.
Difficulty walls
No difficulty setting — a boss you can't beat costs as long as it costs.
