The main story runs about 16 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 30 hrs, roughly 1.9 times the length of the critical path.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i7-8700K / AMD Ryzen 5 1600X, 8 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB / AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT 6 GB / Intel Arc A380 6 GB. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. It also needs around 115GB of free storage, which is a real consideration on a 512GB drive. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
