Players express disappointment with the gameplay duration, feeling that for a price of around $9, they expected several hours of content. Some users humorously suggest that they may have completed the game unusually quickly, indicating a lack of depth or challenge.
“For the price of like $9, I expect a few hours of gameplay. Maybe I am Einstein and finished it epicly, though I doubt it because my mum had me tested and that was not the case.”
