Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“This game looks nice, sounds nice, but plays horribly. It's a maze, and not in the way that it's solvable, but it's overly confusing and wastes your time. Attempting to get help on the internet leads you to spoil whatever story there…”
“What starts out as a pretty competent metroidvania eventually seems to turn into a puzzle solver where you have to manipulate trees to reach new places. If you can figure out where those new places are since the game isn't very clear on…”
