I spent about 40 hours on it. Within the first 12-15 hours I was already feeling pretty meh on the game overall. The combat was decent, but there was just a lot of traversal back-and-forth which made me really tired of the environment, even though there's some areas that are fairly unique.

Plus there were a ton of game design choices that I disagree with, such as how flight sections were done and the hacking minigame (which becomes required for a lot of enemies in second and later playthroughs).

As for fully committing, the first playthrough is about 15 hours. The first playthrough was alright, and I'd have a much more positive opinion of the game had I ended it there.

More importantly, there's no fun traversal mechanic for getting around the large areas. Just running and jumping.
