The story is highly praised for its emotional depth and effective environmental storytelling, with standout moments that evoke strong reactions from players. However, some reviews express frustration with the overall gameplay experience, citing issues like poor dialogue and repetitive mechanics that detract from the narrative enjoyment.
“A strong blend of environmental storytelling (the cop's note had me in tears) combined with cinematic cutscenes (the one where the *spoiler* breaks free made my heart stop with fear) serves to keep the gamer engaged and excited.”
“If it's not pissing you off with its horribly slow weapon reloads, broken enemy attacks, atrocious story and dialogue, scarce ammo drops, flat and boring setpieces, or ridiculously unbalanced and repetitive gameplay, it's pissing you off with the peashooter-like weapons it expects you to use.”
