Pacing was mixed: several reviewers admired the slow-burn structure, while others felt the campaign dragged, repeated sections, or delayed its strongest story material.
Pros: core gameplay loop, emotional impact
Cons: checkpoint system, bug frequency
The pace was one of the biggest tradeoffs: many found it thrilling and fresh, while others found the constant rush stressful or exhausting.
Pros: emotional impact, visual effects quality
Cons: crash stability, cross-play support
Pacing was the most repeated caveat: many reviewers said the story starts slowly, drags in the middle, or takes time before its stronger payoffs.
Pros: atmosphere, world-building
Cons: HUD clarity, fast travel convenience
Pacing is a story-mode weakness, with repeated easy fights, padding, and uneven progression dragging down otherwise exciting combat.
Pros: movement feel, world-building
Cons: save system reliability, mission variety
