The game lacks a cohesive storyline or clear objectives, leaving players to explore a vast and visually appealing map without any narrative direction. Many elements introduced in the tutorial, such as creatures and resources, feel disconnected and underutilized, contributing to a sense of aimlessness.
- “Other creatures and resources that appear in the tutorial (such as bears, goats, minerals, etc.) I have not encountered so far, or if I have, it seems to make little sense, because the game has neither a plot nor a goal.”
- “The map is vast, the scenery is beautiful (as long as you ignore the mosaics on the buildings), and there is no storyline that forces you to complete a certain goal.”
