I can’t do much to answer your original question but you could always try it and refund it within the 2 hour period steam allows.

Sure, you won’t be able to get the full experience but in that time you should be able to get a basic feel for the game and some characters which could let you form your own opinion.

Come on! who the fuck gets anywhere beyond the character creator within 2 hours? ;)

Steam can be pretty loose with the period too within reason. I only returned a game once, it was the Outer Worlds and I put like 4 hours into it. I explained to them that at that point it was clear that choices didn't have the big impact I thought they would and I felt deceived.
