“I waited months and months for this game to come out. I bought it on launch. I've never been so disappointed in a game . I see it in my library and it makes me beyond angry. The amount of base game rides is terrible. Its a money grabbing…”
“Its very fun imo when its not crashing 10 times in a row, I do recommend it but the crash issue really needs to be fixed so for now I would stray away from it”
