I think people are trying so hard to justify the length of this game. I beat it around 28 hours taking my time. You really have to play through it twice to reach that 40 hour mark. Im fine paying 60 bucks for only 20+ hours. Any longer and I would have been more mad honestly.
@Scorch_22: I would definitely call it an RPG. The experience points are spirit orbs where you trade in for either life or stamina. The bad guys have literal hit points with your weapons and armor having stat points. Sounds like an RPG to me but it may be accurate to call it RPG lite.
