The game's story is often described as nonsensical and difficult to engage with initially, featuring random elements and a lack of clear quest navigation, which can lead to frustrating gameplay experiences. Despite these issues, players appreciate the humor and references sprinkled throughout the narrative, making it enjoyable for those seeking a lighthearted single-player action RPG. However, the absence of waypoints for essential quests, such as finding pizza boxes, can hinder progress and detract from the overall experience.
- “However, I found that the game eased up on being entirely random after a while, and the game did end up having a fair number of good jokes and references, even if that element of completely nonsensical storytelling never really disappears.”
- “Besides that, it's a pretty fun game with a kind of random story involving a rampaging dog, but overall, it's an amazing game. 10/10.”
- “The story is nonsensical at times, the maps can be really hard to navigate, combat gets a bit grindy at higher levels, and the multiplayer experience is not good, but it's still a fun game, and I'd still recommend it if you're looking for a fun single-player action RPG.”
- “There are absolutely no waypoints for any quests, which is especially problematic when there's a quest that requires you to find 5 pizza boxes throughout the game if you wish to progress through and finish the main story quest.”
- “The story: I mean there are words and I understand what they mean, but they don't go together.”
