Top critical reviews

“Apparently playing for a few hours and logging off is enough to be "unusual activity" and now they demand I give them my phone number to keep playing. Yeah, no thanks. You can shove it.”
“Daybreak, is like EA, but they are QUICKLY killing all of their IPs. They are the cancer of the gaming industry. They buy one of the greatest game series ever created, and run it into the ground. This game use to be divine, like its parent…”
