Some people expressed their grief in not being able to finish the game. Or even, not being able to get out to the initial stages. They have found the game to be a tad difficult to beat.
I played for a couple hours and never got out of the initial area. I’m not very good at those games but struggled more than usual

Moreover, the game was the most completed and most ‘quit’ game. This also became the talking point of many.

To many, the reason for people quitting the game is very subjective. That is, many won’t like this particular genre. It’s like some people may be interested in FPS shooters, while others are in RPG games. So when trickling down, it’s just a matter of interest.

Well, at least they tried. But speaking from experience, the quitters will probably attempt to play the game again in a few months or years.
