Gameplay is criticized for being heavily reliant on time and monetary investment, leading to a predominantly passive experience where players may find themselves waiting and watching rather than actively engaging.
“The structure of any evolution requires so much time or money that either you spend a fortune or your gameplay will be mostly a waiting and watching experience.”
“The gameplay feels repetitive and lacks the depth needed to keep players engaged for long periods.”
“I found the controls to be clunky and unresponsive, which made the gameplay frustrating at times.”
