23 of 273 sampled reviews raised it
It took me maybe 6 hours for my first playthrough, but like a lot of raising-simulator type games, I think there's a fair amount of replay value, both for picking up a few additional scenes, and also trying different builds for the combat, especially with the wild/rule system.
