Definitely not for me. Played for over 3 hours and there just wasn't really anything here to justify continuing. The intro was decent, fighting mechanics are okay, pixel art looks nice, music is great, the world does feel pretty alive, but that's where my praises end. I got up to completing chapter 3 when I realized my level and gear were really weak (I was getting bodied by bunny rabbits), so I decided to do a few side quests to get some better gear and level up. I did about 10 or so quests and they were all incredibly boring and monotonous, while also barely rewarding me with anything. To buy items at shops you don't just use money, you have to go out and gather the materials yourself which is incredibly annoying. That's pretty much when I realized this wasn't for me. I'm sure it gets better once you level up more and get better gear, but I'm just not interested. The UI feels really clunky with too many menus and you can't rebind buttons to your mouse for some reason so I can't play how I would want to anyway.
