Cons
Con Difficult at first
Starting the game is a bit rough before one upgrades their equipment.
Con Can feel repetitive
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.
