Players find the gameplay lacking due to a sudden introduction of a 'randomize your abilities' mechanic without clear communication, leading to confusion. Additionally, the experience quickly becomes repetitive, with only about 10 minutes of engaging content before it devolves into a monotonous loop.
“When they introduced the 'randomize your abilities' mechanic, there was no warning and no indication it happened other than a sound effect.”
“There's about 10 minutes of gameplay before you end up doing the same thing on a loop.”
