The main story runs about 26.4 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 57 hrs, roughly 2.2 times the length of the critical path.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5-10600 / AMD RYZEN 5 5500, 12 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB / AMD Radeon RX 580 4GB. A 12GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Install size is roughly 30GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.

What it launched against

Released around the same time: Doom: The Dark Ages, Dune: Awakening, The Alters, Mario Kart World.
