Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“It was cool at first to explore the massive space and platform, but after the strobe light rooms designed to kill anyone with epilepsy I feel like it became a chore.”
“Really wanted to like it. But as pretty as it is, its not pretty enough to earn the awful controls and repetitive platforming bottlenecks. Superficially a beautiful artefact. But otherwise a really poorly designed, monotonous game.”
