While early access might appeal to some players, weighing the cost against what you get is essential. The $20 extra cost for three days isn’t necessary for everyone, especially since the game may not rely heavily on narrative to avoid spoilers. However, if the additional content in the Deluxe or Ultimate editions interests you, it might be worth the investment.
