Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“So far, I have mixed feeling about this, leaning more towards the negative as I'm finding the rebellion mechanic a nuisance, it also appears that a few others share that feeling. I love the style of the game and the story, Jerian's…”
“I loved Sir Brante. But sadly this game doesn't live up to it, maybe it's the setting dealing with 'the matters of the court' stuff that is just annoying and weird. It doesn't seem as deep, immersive or interesting as the original game…”
