- Gameplay suffers from repetitive combat, simple puzzles, and a need for grinding, which can detract from the overall enjoyment.
- Some puzzles are either too easy or frustratingly difficult, leading to a disjointed pacing and potential frustration for players.
- The game is much shorter and more linear than its predecessor, with limited exploration and fewer items or companions, making it feel less engaging.
story
13 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story is generally well-received, focusing on a woman trapped in her dreams, and serves as an enjoyable narrative bridge between previous installments. While it may not offer deep storytelling, it provides an entertaining experience with some plot twists, particularly for those familiar with the broader lore. Overall, it is seen as a solid improvement in storytelling, despite some frustrations in gameplay elements.
“Aside from that, the main draw to this game is definitely the story and the world it tries to show you.”
“While my understanding of the plot may potentially be hindered by my lack of understanding of its contemporary's plot, by itself, it serves as a fun romp through a strange and, at times, bizarre exploration of the main character's dreams.”
“While the visuals and storytelling are much improved, the combat and level design is far more frustrating than the original.”
“You won't find deep storytelling; it may serve better for those who understand db's plot, but on its own, the story is such that it is enjoyable.”
“While I cannot determine if it's a thematic companion or an outright prequel, it tells its part of the story well without requiring knowledge of db.”
