The gameplay has been criticized for its slow pace, repetitive jokes, and unimaginative puzzles, leading to a lack of engagement. Players often find themselves spending more time on dialogue and cutscenes than on actual gameplay, with mechanical issues further detracting from the experience. Overall, the gameplay feels overly simplistic and stretched thin.
“Each issue comprises about 3-4 hours of gameplay depending on how you solve the puzzles in the game.”
“The jokes are the same, the story is being stretched thin, the puzzles are getting unimaginative, and the mechanical annoyances (can't speed up travel between locations, clunky character animation) just overshadow any redeeming qualities.”
“The actual gameplay wasn't enjoyable either.”
“The gameplay is almost too easy, and you actually spend more time just listening to dialogue and watching cutscenes than actually playing the game itself.”
