Gameplay is criticized for its poor controls, lack of gamepad support, and frustrating mechanics, leading to a disjointed experience that fails to align with the game's presentation. Players encounter issues such as jittery camera movements, clipping scenery, and tedious item collection, resulting in a high uninstall rate despite the initial ease of achieving early milestones. Overall, the arcade-style gameplay feels mismatched with the game's pacing, detracting from the overall enjoyment.
“The arcade twitch gameplay did not complement the form and presentation of the game and was at odds with the pacing of the rest of the title.”
“Review: no gamepad support, game controls horribly, you hop from spot to spot and the camera jitters wildly left and right, scenery objects clip in and out of existence on very short draw distances, rocks fall all around you and enemies spawn automatically all around you. You run out of ammo fast and the item collection mechanic is tedious; I pressed a bunch of keys and it seemed random if I would pick one or not.”
“The most commonly and easily attained achievement is for killing 10 enemies, which happens in the first 2-3 minutes of gameplay. It's trivial to achieve, but less than 5 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game.”

While players find the main narrative engaging, many are equally captivated by the side quests and activities, leading to a slower progression through the main storyline.

“It's pretty good so far, but I'm only 12% through the main story. I've been really immersed with all the side quests and other activities, so I'm not as far as I could be.”
