Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“If you liked the two previous Deathspank games do not buy this game. The original writer of the first two didn't work on this one. The gameplay mechanics are roughly the same but the real reason to play a Deathspank game - the humor - just…”
“It's just a bit dull. Gameplay is repetitive and the humour is purile. The game crashed and my save wiped just before the final battle, and I couldn't be bothered to start all over again.”
