The story aspect of the game is criticized for its illogical mission design and frustrating gameplay mechanics, particularly regarding interactions with vehicles and quest targets. Players express dissatisfaction with the inability to access the options menu until after completing the tutorial, which compounds the issues faced during missions. Overall, the narrative experience is marred by clunky gameplay that detracts from immersion and enjoyment.

“In one level, I completed all the quests and did not have the fuel to go back to the safety car—imagine how I felt when I was blown up by doing nothing, lol.”
“Mission logic is breaking.”

“The game is way too buggy.”
“To start off, the game is quite janky. It has the love/hate physics bugs and small graphical glitches such as colliding textures, but those aren't deal-breaking if you're used to games that can be rough around the edges.”
