The story is generally praised for its engaging and interesting narrative, though some players find the bonus level's plot confusing with several plot holes. While the main storyline is well-received, concerns about gameplay mechanics, such as energy limitations and a lack of guidance, detract from the overall experience. Players express a desire for a one-time purchase option instead of the energy-based model.
- “The story's great like always, but the gameplay is not like the others. I mean, you run out of energy and have to buy more or wait for your bar to fill up before you can continue.”
- “I like the story but would rather just buy the game instead of using energy. I wish you could choose to buy the whole game for a set price or the energy if you prefer to play that way.”
