29:03 Sorry but your take on Solasta is so dead wrong. Yes it is a CRPG and yes it looks like a CRPG and CRPGs look similar....just like all Soulsgames and Soulslikes look the same. With FPS its even worse - they literally all look the same. Solasta 1 is pretty good and from what I've seen so far Solasta 2 is going to be even better. About that "generic" Fantasy setting - Solasta is a D&D game so if you consider D&D to be "generic" then yes it is. Which means - if you like D&D Solasta should be on your list because it is literally a D&D game. If you don't like CRPGs - ok that's fine. But calling CRPGs "slop" is just arrogant.
My completely subjective take on things that look (or don't look) interesting TO ME is wrong? I'm not calling CRPG's slop, I'm saying I can't tell them (or many modern fantasy games) apart from any of their peers, that's what feels sloppy. I'm sure the game will be fun for people who like the genre, it's just not for me. Baldur's Gate 3 is supposedly amazing and I haven't played it yet because the art style and gameplay just don't do it for me. And you're absolutely right about (a lot of) FPS's looking the same, I hate that too. I hate when any games, even if it's in a genre I love like fighting games or action adventure games, look visually indistinguishable from one another. My whole point about all of this, is that I want more games to have bold and unique art styles.
