Should you watch this instead of playing the game? Hell no, the game is a masterpiece and this does not spend the time to fully capture the game. It would need around triple the episode count to be able to fully express how good the game is. That being said, this anime is pretty. If you have played the game and love it, and are okay with watching a very pretty looking recap this is great. My ratings are how the anime on it's own handles these various categories; the overall is how I think this anime is if you played the game, love it, and knowwhat you're getting into.
