Users express disappointment with the gameplay duration, feeling that for a price of around $9, they expected more hours of content. One reviewer humorously suggests that they may have completed the game too quickly, indicating a lack of depth or challenge. Overall, the gameplay experience seems to fall short of expectations regarding length and engagement.
