    • “The game's story has potential, but the gameplay is such a chore, not interesting enough to keep me playing, unfortunately.”
    • “You're told to shuttle between various locations along the moon's surface, and it's pretty common to get to a checkpoint... and then have your next mission be to turn around and go right back where you came from.”
