I haven't bought this game yet, but I couldn't help but notice in the store description that the game's estimated length in hours is mentioned.
Now you might think I'm here to complain about the game being short or something - but actually, I appreciate the gesture. An honest, upfront time estimate of an average playthrough is something I think more games should have on their packaging, especially if they are expensive $60 - $100 AAA games. (Though I doubt big publishers have the humility to do this - unless we're talking of a big tedious open-world game with many hours of padding, from which they could technically boast of 100+ hour playtimes).
So yeah, I just wanted to share my opinion on that. It's something more developers should do and I appreciate it.
