The story aspect of the game is perceived as lacking depth and coherence, with players feeling that it is incomplete and hindered by locked content and a mediocre quest system. While there are numerous quests and secrets to discover, frustrations arise from technical issues, such as missions not clearing properly, which detracts from the overall narrative experience. Additionally, the game's reliance on a paywall for content unlocks leaves players questioning the value of the story being presented.
