Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I liked all the Simulacra games I've played so far however, this one bored me to death, like God- all that talking and information, just for what? Nah, not my cup of tea.”
“This game is disappointing. At least the first two games allow the chat prompt to be instant and some extent, skip FMW/cutscenes (well Simulacra 1 did). This one does not even give you the option to speed up the game after completing it…”
