The main story runs about 11.6 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 23 hrs, roughly 2 times the length of the critical path.

What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5-4430 @ 3.0 GHz or AMD FX-6300 @ 3.5 GHz, 4 GB RAM and Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 with 2GB VRAM or AMD Radeon HD 7870 with 2GB VRAM.
