- “The story is okay for a game of this type; the world is open, which is a negative for the story, as you can skip some parts even if you don't mean to. But it's also a positive for gameplay, as it really gives you that open feeling of being able to go anywhere.”

- “While there are plenty of music instruments available, the overall music experience feels underwhelming and uninspired.”
