How it plays

Games released in 2021 averaged 74, so it scored about average for its year. Players rate it 67, 6 points lower than critics did — a gap worth knowing about before you buy.
How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 25.5 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 58 hrs, roughly 2.3 times the length of the critical path.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for AMD FX-8350 or Intel Core i5-4690K or newer running at 3.5 GHz or higher, 8 GB RAM and 4 GB Direct3D 11 capable video card - GeForce GTX 960 or Radeon R9 380. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 25GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.

All of them reviewed better. It arrived 1 year into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
