Companion-focused missions are much more successful than routine errands, often feeling like enjoyable character episodes with worthwhile rewards.

Mission design is mixed because some reviewers enjoyed the structure, while others criticized repeated lock-and-door objectives or formulaic area setups.

Mission design was mixed to negative because reviewers enjoyed some lessons and minigames but disliked fetch quests and backtracking.
Pros: accessibility options, combat system
Cons: narrative quality, frame rate stability
The survival maze's rewards and risk do not always align well. Other complaints concern unclear objectives and dungeons that feel weakly connected to their story situations or bosses.
Pros: combat system, overall quality
Cons: fun factor, narrative quality
Mission design was criticized for unskippable walk-and-talks, forced walking, and control loss, with only a few later mission moments landing better.
