    • “Chest searching mechanic, in my opinion, is not explained properly and is overly precise.”
    • “I only played for 10 minutes and dropped it simply because the game wouldn't let me play; it stuck me in a long cutscene full of dialogue with no option to skip that part and go straight to the gameplay... boring as hell.”
    • “I am quite frustrated with the mechanics of the game and the checkpoint system. The game is around 30 minutes long but I couldn't figure things out for a long time and it seems the achievements don't work.”
