👎 Where it falls short

Complaints are few next to the praise. 13 reviews have issues with the story, as some warn it spoils the plots of earlier entries in the series and a few call the writing cheesy or repetitive. 11 point to controls and menus that feel dated, such as clumsy UI, missing controller vibration and long special move animations they cannot skip. 10 raise onboarding issues, with some finding the guidance too hand holding and others missing subtitles in their language.
