Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I've reached the end of the game after 4 hours of gameplay. Is this a joke? Should have known it was called "road to debut" for a reason, after debuting and the first award ceremony we have reached the end. This feels like an early access…”
“Can't really say anything bad about this game, but WTH is with that ending? Instead of scratching a management itch that in the past only Idol Manager could, this one just ends at the part where it should start... The experience is more…”
