    The story aspect of the game is largely absent, with users noting a complete lack of storyline and depth. The focus is primarily on puzzles, but the absence of narrative and tutorial detracts from the overall experience.

    • “The puzzles are good, challenging enough and decent, but the game itself is very buggy, there's no tutorial, and no storyline; basically, this game is lacking the depth we all look for in a puzzler.”
    • “No story as far as I can tell.”

    The graphics are widely criticized for being poor, with unattractive textures and an overall unpleasant atmosphere, resulting in a highly negative visual experience.

    • “God-awful graphics: it's not just a horrible engine (Unity with ugly assets), the general atmosphere and textures are an eyesore and make me feel suicidal after not even half an hour.”
    • “Not the best graphics.”
  • stability

    The monetization of Citadel is widely criticized as an unworthy $10 purchase for an unfinished, bug-ridden product that feels more like an incomplete mod than a fully developed game.

  • humor

    The humor in the game largely stems from chaotic multiplayer interactions, especially the unintended but hilarious moments like players repeatedly pushing each other off ledges and the resulting comically distorted voice chat. This shared experience creates a lighthearted and amusing atmosphere.
