The game is only about 30 hours and has no micro transactions. It is addictive until you beat it. Easily game of the year.

I know what it is, i read the reviews and decided to skip based on QTEs [1] :)

I still don't understand how "addictive" is a positive term.

[1] To preempt some complaining, I haven't touched an Ubisoft or EA title in at least 10 years. So it's not like I'm an AAA "consumer" that skips the darling indies.

If I had to defend the term addictive- presumably the addiction goes away when you beat the 30 hour game.

So it's not addictive in the ongoing, problematic way that cocaine would be.
