Is It Worth It?
Here are some considerations to help you decide:
Advantages of Deluxe:
- Early access: If you want to play ASAP, avoid spoilers, or stream the game, the 2‑day lead is valuable.
- More content (cosmetics, soundtrack, artbook) which are nice for fans, collectors, or people who care about presentation / lore / immersion.
Disadvantages:
- You pay more. If you don’t care about cosmetics or early access, the Standard might be enough.
- Some of the extras are non‑gameplay stuff (artbook, music) which might not matter to all players.
