Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“This game used to be amazing and so fun, but after power 2.0 the game became so much more restrictive and seemed to force players to make smaller and smaller ships. Power 2.0 ruined this game for me and imo, killed the game.”
“It had so much potential, but was abandoned and the community is trying to update it, but i think ill have grandchildren before any meaningful progress is made.”
