Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“This game has several dialogue issues of all kinds. The voice acting sounds stilted and forced. The text parser is bad, much worse than the original. With the price of this remake you'd think they would have fewer issues and improved more…”
“Only worth your time if it triggers a great deal of nostalgia for you. The remake is pretty buggy and not great. Still, if you played the old Gold Rush (which is also included) then it can be enjoyable. Otherwise, stay away.”
