Good but somewhat overrated
First of all, the game is not short. If you spend less than 25 hours with it, you're just deliberately rushing it for the sake of it - just reading the dialogues probably takes at least 20 hours. The length is fairly good for what the game has to tell and show so you have to play it like Diablo to find it "short" - but then you should ask yourself why do you play a classic RPG like hack 'n slash, that's not the point, is it? Then, it's the actual game. It's good but it's nothing epochal. The combat is interesting, more diverse and less frustrating than Pillars of Eternity. The music is... adequate. The story keeps you interested and that alone makes it good but it's not all the original or devoid of cliches as you might expect. The setting is nice and unorthodox but not fully utilized - the alleged evil which has won the war against everybody but a few stubborn factions turns to be not-so-evil, it obviously can't keep order within its own camp all the while being explicitly obsessed with establishing global order, the characters - allies and enemies - can hardly be painted black or white and your own character is allowed to be a near-saint if you choose him/her to be. Even the most "evil" decisions you can take fall more in the category of selfish and even necessary depending on the circumstances so if you're expecting to blow Alderaan just to make an example of the rebel scum, look for another game, this one won't allow you to go nowhere near as far. Should you buy the game? Probably you should, if you like classic RPGs. There is a lot to read and most of the time its worth reading it, the combats are neither too frequent, nor too scarce (just about right) and the overall experience achieves what any game aims at - to entertain. Just don't expect to have your mind blown.
