Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.

“The input timing stutters, and sometimes when you press a button, the PC will just stand there and do nothing. Quest objectives are unclear, and very little is explained. There is virtually no tutorial, no visible map, and it's advertised…”
