The main story runs about 15 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 25 hrs, roughly 1.7 times the length of the critical path.

What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for AMD Ryzen 5 3600 @ 3.6 GHz, Intel Core i7-8700K @ 3.70 GHz, or better, 16 GB RAM and AMD RX 5700 (8 GB), Intel Arc A750 (8 GB, with ReBAR on), NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8 GB), or better. A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Install size is roughly 90GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
