“The Online Multiplayer doesnt work at all. It always says Code Invalid even though it is the right Code. And the devs literally said its a common issue and u just need to try again. Tried for 10 minutes... didnt work.”
“The game is beautiful, but if both you and your friend try to play hosting an online party you will fail at it, multiplayer option doesnt work at all, only playing it in local would work.”
