PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it—even if you don’t like sports. As someone that doesn’t particularly enjoy sports or anything to do with it in games, Sports Story had me hooked. I discovered plenty to do beyond just sports in this narrative-rich RPG, including exploring a variety of areas, interacting with unique characters, and more. TIME PLAYED I played Sports Story for four hours and got decently far in the game. After an hour and a half, the game opened up and allowed me to explore different areas alone without following certain quests or reading unnecessary dialogue. I could also return to certain areas later on to unlock different items or mini quests.
