The story aspect has received criticism due to a broken timer in the second mission, which affects gameplay. Although the issue persists, the game now prevents players from completing the mission if they fail due to the timer malfunction.
“The story is lacking depth and coherence.”
“The second mission in the catastrophe still has a broken timer.”
“Edit: The timer is still broken, but now you don't pass the mission if you fail it this way.”
