Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Nothing. Happens. None of the items do anything. There's no synergies with skills. There's no story. There's no goal. This is one of those games where 'cozy' means boring. This was so very, very boring and terribly written.”
“The game is incredibly cute and the customization options are amazing. The gameplay, however, is very repetitive. It was really fun at first, when there were new things to discover, but very quickly you're just pushing the same buttons…”
