The story aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many users criticizing it for being confusing and lacking depth, suggesting that it feels more like a test of the game engine rather than a well-crafted narrative. While some players express excitement to continue the story, others feel that the lack of a meaningful plot detracts from the overall experience, making it seem like a collection of assets rather than a cohesive game.
