The story is praised for its inspirational moral about perseverance and personal growth, but some reviewers feel it lacks depth and individuality, particularly in its side quests. While the narrative connects across the series, it is more focused on action and gameplay than on delivering an epic tale, making it suitable for players seeking straightforward adventures rather than a complex storyline. Overall, it concludes neatly, but prior knowledge of the earlier games is essential for full understanding.

- “What a brilliant series and loved the story!”
- “It wraps up the story quite neatly.”
- “I just don't feel like there was an effort made to individualize each story.”
- “If you haven't played the others, start there or the story will make zero sense.”
