The game's story is criticized for being poorly integrated and lacking clear guidance, leaving players confused about how to progress and unlock content. While there are numerous quests and secrets, the quest system is described as mediocre, and players have reported frustrating bugs that hinder their ability to complete missions. Additionally, the presence of a paywall for unlocking content detracts from the overall experience, leading to a perception of the game as unfinished.
- “With a surprising amount of quests and secrets in every nook and cranny.”
- “You created a game, but you don’t expect people to play through the whole story?”
- “Then why bother creating the story if you didn’t expect people to follow it in the first place?”
- “Though, part of this is due to there being no real tutorial that explains you unlock the garage by participating in the 'story' and halfway through the first area, you unlock a secret room that has options to buy the DLC pack and it heavily implies a need to pay.”
