The game features a vast world and an initially promising story filled with action, but ultimately falls short of delivering an engaging narrative as advertised. Players note that while some story elements are well-signposted, others lack clarity, leading to frustrating gameplay experiences, particularly in critical missions.
“Huge game, with an awesome story and lots of action.”
“The game presents a grand, action-packed cinematic story that captivates players throughout their journey.”
“The narrative is engaging and dramatic, successfully drawing players into its immersive world.”
“For as much as the trailer and the promotional images manage to portray the game as a grand, action-packed cinematic story, there is very little of that present in the final game.”
“Most of the time, these are well-signposted, but when they aren't, it's incredibly easy to move forward too fast and just be shot dead with no warning or rebuttal; the final mission in particular has no signposting of this whatsoever.”
