Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Compared to the first game, there is no nice way to put, this sequel is trash. It does not feel the same, it does not play the same and it is no way a continuation of the franchise that maintains the feel of the original. To say I am…”
“This game has the worst script of any game ive ever played - I started out really trying to focus on what was going on but eventually it becomes a droning boring mess, too much pointless confusing dialogue, its just not self aware - shame…”
