The gameplay is criticized for its lack of meaningful player agency, as actions often feel disconnected from the outcomes on screen. Players may struggle to understand the mechanics, leading to uncertainty about their impact on the game.
“The mechanics are such that pretty much nothing you do will impact what happens on screen.”
“Well, if you can figure out the mechanics, it might, maybe - who knows.”
