As one of my friends put it regarding this game - homeless simulator 😄
In fact, the game came out well. How quickly you progress through the story will depend on you. You can open all the locations if you want, and in some of them you can also populate people and protect them with turrets. If you want, you can complete the main tasks and some of the side ones. If you want, you can do more than you need. Of course, for some tasks you will have to raise your character to a certain level, which is why the game will drag on, but in general, if you wish, you can go through it quickly.
Personally, I really enjoyed the game and I play through it slowly, exploring the entire map, trying to improve some settlements.
