“It seemed like a decent game but after a couple hours of play time it crashes when loading a level. Seems to have some kind of issue with Win 10. Hard pass. :-(”
“This wants to be a relaxing puzzle game but it ends up just being a tedious chore. I mean if you really need another puzzle game, wait to pick it up on sale; but if you are planning to 100% the achievements: do yourself a favor and look up…”
