That's as good a way of describing it as any.

I'll extend my grubby bottom-feeding leech hands toward that offer! I think this game looks cool. Kind of reminds me of the MGS VR missions.

Here's quite an informative video review / example mission.

The reviewer utterly loves the game, so you'll not find any negative counter-points here, but it does a fine job of showing you how to play the game.

A bit lengthy, but highly recommended watching if you're curious about the game.

(But the other video made me way more interested.)

I'm fairly impressed with the single-player campaign. There's a wholly unexpected degree of story and atmosphere going on here, with plenty of dialogue between and during the missions, most of which is pleasingly well-written. For a game that initially looked to be firmly based around its multiplayer, this is a nice surprise, and naturally adds additional motivation to play.

The in-mission gameplay is proving addictive, and I can see that those 55 missions are going to add up to a significant amount of gameplay, before you even consider the multiplayer and skirmish modes.

15 minutes per mission would seem a rather conservative average based on experience thus far, but that would already make for ~14 hours. I wouldn't be surprised if the real numbers were closer to twice that, but I don't want to over-sell it with so little actual game time under my belt. (I'll try to remember to time some missions when next I play.)
