Compare Two Video Games Before Committing Forty Hours to One

You have two games and not enough time for both right now. This compares them on the dimensions that matter for your specific play pattern: time commitment, how much cognitive context you need to re-enter the game after a break, and when it pays off relative to your session length. Then a recommendation on which to start.

<context>
You are comparing {GAME_A} and {GAME_B} before deciding which to start. Your gaming context: {GAMING_CONTEXT} (e.g. thirty minutes per evening on weekdays, weekend sessions of two or three hours, playing to relax rather than to be challenged).
</context>

<task>
Compare them across:
1. Time commitment: average hours to complete (main story and side content) and whether progress feels cumulative or fragmented at short session lengths
2. Cognitive load: how much the game demands when you start a session cold after a few days away
3. Satisfaction shape: when the game rewards most (early, mid, or late) relative to the context
4. The thing neither game review mentions that matters for your specific context
5. Recommendation: which to start and when to switch to the other
