Our take on Side Quest
The bounce point arrives when progress depends on repeated beat-'em-up encounters and challenge completion for weapon access. Players looking for exploration-led pacing, extensive role-playing systems, or multiplayer action may leave before the rescue journey reaches its larger enemy encounters.
