Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Seemed promising when I purchased it nearly 4 years ago. Update: As of February 2025, there was a seemingly large update adding in more content. Note that it went almost 21 months without an update on Steam. While it seems they are still…”
“Buying through steam is effectively not getting the whole game, as their unique launcher for that is one of the dev's patreon rewards. Surprised me after buying it, don't let it surprise you unless you already know this.”
