The game's story is considered secondary to its immersive environment, with players noting that while it can be completed in about three hours, it contains significant plot holes, such as an abrupt transition from a construction worker to a helicopter pilot. Despite these issues, many players find the setting engaging enough to overlook the narrative shortcomings. Overall, the story is seen as a minor aspect of the experience, with the focus primarily on gameplay and atmosphere.
- “It's a good game for what it's asking for even if it can be completed in 3 hours and has some glaring plot holes in it (at the start we appeared to be a construction worker, but somehow we know how to pilot a helicopter?) that can be overlooked if you're willing to enjoy the setting of the game.”
- “This game is $5, I didn't play it for the story... but I have to say, I spent almost 2 hours submerged in the realism of the environment... it is the best I've ever come across... bravo.”
