Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“don't get me wrong, it's a decent game. but it's bare minimum. main premise of the game is to interact with the penguins, flip/dress/feed them, and sometimes throw snowballs at them. trivia dialogues are fine, not that really enjoyable…”
