Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Buy only if you're fine with installing community patches as mods. Otherwise you'll run into countless problems — yes, even game-breaking ones. Feels like the developer took our money and then just vanished. Disappointingly little…”
“Do not purchase! This game has glitches that do not show up until long after you have played the 2 hour max time for refund. Steam refuses to make it right despite the fact that the game has become unplayable.”
