Cons
Con Extremely slowly paced
The gameplay takes a very long time to get moving and even then it still feels slow.

Even though it is by design, having to repeat many of the same areas (despite being randomly generated) feels repetitive after a while, which can lead to boredom while playing. So it is up to the player how soon they will tire.
