Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Filled with badly designed systems. You can't just pick a character and work on it long term. You have to keep resetting. There's no actual gear, or character specific trees, or real decisions to make. Progress is gated and the whole thing…”
“I don't mind the fact that it's scripted and grindy, but it's not fleshed out for the price of the game.”
