You are way too negative. Maybe try the game first? They have a stellar track record (Divinity I & II) + you can just read the reviews considering the game is in early access for +2 years. And they did listen to player feedback.

On game length, I also default to shorter experiences. How Long to Beat [0] is perfect for that.
