The gameplay is generally well-received, featuring interesting mechanics and a fun progression loop, though some players find it simple. While the UI and overall experience are praised for their smoothness, multiplayer scaling issues and dull combat detract from the experience for some. Overall, the game offers a compelling solo experience, despite mixed feelings about its visuals and combat depth.
