Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I'm gonna call this an "unpolished gem". It's got a great foundation and a fun concept, but it's filled with jank and jitter and needs a few polishing sweeps.”
“I want to like this - but this is way too buggy to be considered a full release. A lot of the arms don't work properly for example. With one quest you get a face and a beard to go with it - except the face sticks on backwards. It's a buggy…”
