The game's story is set in a post-apocalyptic America, where players navigate an open world completing repetitive missions primarily focused on travel and delivery. While the concept is intriguing, many players find the lack of variety in quests and unclear overall goals frustrating, compounded by language barriers that hinder progress in class-specific story missions. Despite some appealing retro visuals and a good soundtrack, the gameplay quickly becomes monotonous, leaving players eager for more engaging content and clearer narrative direction.
