The game's story is largely criticized for being minimal and underdeveloped, with many reviewers noting that it feels like a mere skeleton lacking depth or engagement. Players express disappointment over the missed potential for a compelling narrative, suggesting that the game could benefit from a more substantial plot and richer storytelling elements.
