How's the replayability as of now?

Heya, looking to buy the digital deluxe edition of DtD sometime next next week. Already set on it but I want to ask how replayable the game is. I know the godzilla update's coming close.

Hey, I've been playing for 200 hours but I don't think I'd ever start from scratch again. You can just keep playing after the storyline is over if you want, either for some of the achievements, or just to upgrade weapons/recipes. Game loop is really enjoyable to me so I just kept playing to max out all recipes (for no reason). The game introduces new mechanics and items even towards the end of the storyline, so it shouldn't get boring, and you don't really run out of things to spend your money on.

Digital deluxe edition doesn't have any game content other than a boat skin apparently, but I'm guessing you know that already.

Game's worth it even if you're just going for the storyline. This is one of the very few games I kept playing after getting all achievements. The reason why I'd never start from scratch ever again is because, if you do go for upgrading a particular weapon (or all) for example, you'll find that the drop rates on some of the items needed is incredibly low/random, which will take away the fun and make the game grindy. If you don't have completionist OCD, you'll be just fine.

Good to know, thanks!

Don't know about replayability but I've sunked 40+ hours into this game and I'm BARELY through the storyline. What you're paying for and the content you're getting is ridiculous!! This game is a must buy!

23.5 hrs to finish the game. Anything else is just a slog to get 100% and achievements.

Didn't feel it was worth it.

Also felt the burnout around the same amount hours. I started just skipping days just to progress the story. Started becoming too bloated with things to do. I still had fun with it, just wish it cut out some fat and polished the overall taste in a smaller package.
