How long should kids play King's Bounty: Warriors of the North?

Our session recommendation for King's Bounty: Warriors of the North is up to 120 minutes per day. It is derived from the game's own structure (natural stopping points, compulsion-loop design, monetization pressure, and social dynamics), not from a universal screen-time dose.
