The story in the game is described as short and simplistic, with a main quest taking around 4 to 6 hours to complete, and side quests that often feel unfulfilling or tedious. While some players appreciate the engaging cutscenes and the overall narrative, others criticize the inconsistency and lack of depth in the story, particularly noting that many side quests are mundane fetch tasks. Additionally, the mechanics and pacing detract from the overall experience, making it difficult for players to fully immerse themselves in the storyline.
“Beautiful scenery, massive open world, tons of quests/errands to do for people, and, of course, an exciting story.”
“I haven't got through the whole story, it's very exciting so far, though!”
“Really fun quests and errands, things like rescuing horses in distress, finding lost items or doing nice things for people. I love games that have stacks of errands and tasks you can do for people, but only when they're enjoyable, which luckily, they are in this game.”
“After finishing the main story in 3 hours and 30 minutes (along with a few of the side quests), my overall thoughts (and gripes) are as follows:”
“Finally, some of the story didn’t really line up with itself.”
“Story was childish, what is expected from a kid's game.”

“The gameplay feels repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged for long periods.”
“The controls are clunky and unresponsive, which makes even simple tasks frustrating.”
