Pacing is mostly strong, with reviewers praising brisk forward momentum and a compact runtime, though one late section was said to drag.
Pros: combat system, emotional impact
Cons: map and navigation design, platforming precision
Pacing was the most discussed tradeoff: many praised the action-horror balance, while others found the character split lopsided or jarring.
Pros: pacing, combat system
Cons: originality

Pros: combat system, fun factor
Cons: pacing, open-world design
Pacing is a recurring weakness. Strong openings and endings are often separated by slower middle stretches, and late-game leveling or side-content requirements can interrupt story momentum.
Pros: combat system, narrative quality
Cons: difficulty balance, grind level
Pacing was uneven: the main fighting stayed engaging, but World Tour could feel repetitive, grindy, or padded.
Pros: accessibility options, combat system
Cons: narrative quality, frame rate stability

Pros: combat system, overall quality
Cons: fun factor, narrative quality
