“I love suda and all his works, but this thing runs pretty sloppy compared to other games, it really needs a few more minutes in the oven. i upgraded to play this and everything else i couldnt play, i can now, this is the only title left…”
“Love Suda's games and his art style. This one is just not it. Very weak gameplay, ok story and very bad level design overall. It's fun for the first 1-3 hours and then it gets repetitive and boring. Would not recommend.”
