👎 Where it falls short
The criticism is small and specific. 16 reviews raise pacing and difficulty, and the most upvoted found the fourth chapter drawn out. 11 have story complaints, some wishing certain characters got more closure, and 10 mention the controls, with the most upvoted getting tangled in its input mechanics.
