Good to know

Release order is story order across STEM, so there is no alternate timeline to untangle. The first game runs 16 hours with letterbox chapters and trap focus. Kidman DLC runs 6 hours total and explains Beacon gaps. The sequel runs 14 hours adding stealth choice. Play on PS4 or PC for stable saves since PS3 loads slowly.
