The story is criticized for being linear and short, with missions taking only about four hours to complete on easy mode. Players express frustration with excessive backtracking, repetitive prompts from mission control, and a lack of engaging content after the main missions, suggesting that a free-roam option from the start would enhance the experience. Overall, the narrative is seen as underwhelming, hindered by poor pacing and cumbersome controls.
“The story is engaging and keeps you invested throughout the gameplay.”
“The narrative unfolds beautifully, providing a rich backdrop for the missions.”
“The game offers a unique storyline that captivates players and encourages exploration.”
“My main peeve would be that I finished the missions in about 4 hours on easy mode.”
“The game world is built with a ton of dead ends, so each mission inevitably results in a ton of backtracking to figure out where you're supposed to go in a sub that crawls at an unbearably slow pace.”
“The controls can be complex, the voice acting can be dull, the story is linear, the title screen is laggy, and you most likely could have an issue with quick time events.”
