The game's atmosphere is generally well-received, with players appreciating its immersive qualities; however, some feel that the open-world aspect is limited, restricting exploration to a smaller area. Additionally, there are suggestions for improved guidance on mission locations and controls to enhance the overall experience.
“Love the atmosphere of the gameplay.”
“It is good, but the open world means I can go anywhere. That feature is not there; it feels like just a small area you can roam. For flying too, the maximum height shouldn't be there; it needs a max limit within the atmosphere. You should also add a tutorial about where you can get missions and where, etc., rather than just controls. Otherwise, the game is good.”
“Been here before in this type of gaming atmosphere.”
