Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Fun and unique game but way overrated. Fun for about 20 hours but then you have seen it all and its gets boring really fast. The game lacks content. Small and pointless updates over the last 4 months has added almost nothing to the game”
“So the cartel update has absolutely ruined a fun and chill game for me. I hate it. Now it is not fun anymore. Way too much stress and anxiety dealing with all the ambushes, dealers getting robbed, the whole map unlock system now is awful…”
