The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I have to agree with a lot of people here. Nice idea but the controls are not my cup of tea. The battles were very repeating and the way the character moved was so stiff. Less fighting would've fit the setting way better. I too had some…”
“So gave this game a 2 hour go. It was on sale back in July so I picked it up. Looked interesting and the synopsis intrigued me. What started off pretty cool ended up being a train wreck. I'm not in the mood for 20 hours of that repetitive…”
