The story aspect of the game has received criticism for its lack of direction and guidance, leading to frustrating gameplay experiences. Players find missions, such as the zodd mission, to be tedious and poorly structured, with unnecessary exploration elements that detract from the overall pacing and enjoyment. Additionally, the small inventory size exacerbates these issues, as players quickly become overwhelmed with items while struggling to progress.
- “When I started the first mission of the game, I was not impressed at all with the interaction of my attacks and the handful of mobs I needed to fight.”
- “That section was completely pointless aside from exploration and looting, and when the mission ratings are strictly based on speed of completion, that's a hard sell.”
- “In particular, the Zodd mission has a main chamber that requires 3 keys to pass a locked door.”
