While the atmosphere is immersive and effectively supported by enemy design, some players note balancing issues related to health and ammo that can detract from the overall experience.

Players generally find that grinding is not a significant requirement for completing the game on the first difficulty, as it can be largely ignored. However, advancing to the second difficulty level necessitates some time investment to strengthen characters, indicating that grinding may become more relevant at higher levels.
“If you play it straight forward to the end, you can practically ignore grinding, and farming doesn't seem super viable anywhere. However, going into the second difficulty will require a bit of time to get stronger.”
