The main story runs about 71.5 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 217 hrs, roughly 3 times the length of the critical path.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Quad core 3Ghz+, 8 GB RAM and DirectX 11 capable GPU with 1GB VRAM - GeForce GTX 750 Ti, Radeon R7 360 or Intel UHD Graphics 730. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 5GB.
