Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Won't launch on Linux without proton. Anticheat doesn't work with proton, so multiplayer is borked. I get kicked after about 20 seconds after starting a solo open raid. I lose all items I deployed with and get none of it back. PvE works…”
“Every negative review in this game is 100% correct. I knew to refund just before the 2hr mark but tried to like it and give a chance. Waisted money.”
