What players say
Players love the core backpack-management idea, but agree the game was left unfinished after 1.0. Many find the story mode slow and prefer quick play, though they praise the addictive "one more run" loop. Opinions split on build variety, with some seeing little depth and others finding enough to sink hours in.
