Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“A game that had amazing potential turned into another lesson about buying games in EA. It’s a gamble. Sometimes you buy into devs like from project zomboid, other times you buy into devs like here…. Scammers and fraudsters in my opinion…”
“Came out in early access, had a few very minor patches that didn't add much then it was 'full released' and abandoned. Still feels like a demo.”
