The story is poorly introduced, leaving players confused about their characters' motivations and the overall mission. Key plot elements, such as the search for an artifact, are revealed too late, and the narrative lacks coherence and resolution, often feeling abandoned. Additionally, gameplay mechanics, like mission logs and maps, are dysfunctional, further detracting from the storytelling experience.
- “It takes a couple of hours to finish if you rush it, and the story is abandoned abruptly not only without any resolution but also with hardly any build-up to it.”
- “When the mission starts, it doesn't even explain what you are supposed to be doing.”
- “I think I got through four mission maps before it was suddenly revealed that I was looking for pieces of an artifact.”
