The game's story is generally praised for its depth and well-developed characters, particularly highlighted in the Part 5 prequel, which is noted for its emotional and tragic conclusion. However, some players express frustration with the delivery of the story, feeling that the experience is hindered by a lack of clarity and accessibility, especially when relying on guides rather than engaging with the narrative directly. Overall, while the story has strong elements, the presentation could be improved for a better player experience.
“Part 5 prequel stands out as the one with quite possibly the best storyline, completing Part 5 (main) very beautifully and tragically in a gut-wrenching way. The plot is well thought through, and the characters are well developed with depth.”
“I know the story is good, but this game should provide a much better experience.”
“Story is not bad (I knew the story before).”
“Although the downside for me is I have no idea what the story is about since I was merely following the guide to play, not also hearing Weasel read out the plot that was translated by the chat.”
“Enforce close when you switch back from DLC world to main story mode.”
