-
Narrative quality is limited; Project Justice’s story is recognized, but at least one reviewer did not find it compelling enough.

The learning curve is mixed because newcomers may struggle with grooves, ratios, inputs, and deeper systems, even though the tools soften the entry point.
-
AI behavior is a minor concern in Power Stone 2 ranked, where CPU players can affect rank outcomes.

Save reliability is mixed because the save function works, but one reviewer wished it returned exactly to the saved moment.
-
