“Devs just dropped the game. It COULD have been a good, amazing even. Instead its half done, left by the wayside and still $10. I am so incredibly disappointed.”
“Buggy, multiple CTDs. Its fun and worth it on a super sale, but otherwise ehh. Bugs: My biggest annoyance is if you are doing a mission to bring something somewhere and get attached by pirates, if you and the pirate both run out of ammo…”
