It really depends on how well you know the game. Assuming you are completely new to the game, and don't know anything about Arma III.

• The Prologue campaign includes 5 single-player missions;
  
• The East Wind campaign includes 15 to 25 missions, depending on how many optional patrols for which you volunteer;

The two campaigns above take between 20 and 30 hours game time and are designed to introduce you to Arma III. By the time you complete both of the above campaigns, you should be proficient with Arma III.

After that, it depends on whether or not you have included mods or DLCs. The APEX DLC adds 4 co-op missions that can be played multiplayer or single-player. The Laws of War DLC adds the single-player Remnants of War campaign. The Tac Ops DLC adds three single-player campaigns: Beyond Hope, Stepping Stone, and Steel Pegasus. The Tanks DLC adds the Atlis Requiem campaign. The Contact DLC adds the First Contact campaign. There is also a campaign added to the Global Mobilization DLC, but I do not recall its title.

All of the above (except for the APEX DLC) are intended to be played as single-player campaigns. Then you have the scenarios. Scenarios can be single-player, multiplayer, or both. Scenarios can also be dynamic, so you can play the same scenario multiple times and never play the same game twice.

Most scenarios are developed by end-users and are available through the Steam Workshop.

Then there are the single-player challenges and showcases. Each of the DLCs added content that showed off their capabilities and created challenges, timed trials, etc. for single-players to get even better and test their abilities with each of Arma's features.

Overall, I would estimate that there is probably close to 100 to 150 hours of single-player game time, and that is not including the Workshop campaigns or dynamic campaigns from mods.

On a scale of 1 to 10, overall I have to rate Arma III a solid 8. Primarily because there is no other software platform like Arma III.

Arma III's biggest issues are that it is unbalanced. The bulk of the work is being handled by just two cores and a small number of threads. It is also a memory hog. Every object in the game consumes RAM, so you need to find a balance between your viewing distance and your FPS. The further you can see, the more objects you can see and will consume your memory which will lower your FPS.

My advice is that you should not buy this game unless you own an i7 (or equivalent), a minimum of 16 GB of RAM (32 GB would be even better), and a GTX 1070 video card or better (Arma III is not graphically demanding).

According to BIS, they list the minimum to run the game at an i5 with 8 GB of RAM. However, if that is all you have then you can forget about flying helicopters or jets. Even driving a vehicle or tank will drop your FPS below 40. You will be lucky to get 60 FPS playing as infantry only and walking everywhere you go.
