Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I remember when I was a teen and saw this was kickstarted with many web comic artists contributing to the work. Well over a decade later I decided to play this and I must say this really reminds me of the "lol random" era of internet…”
“How cute, the game thinks it's woke. About a 400-year-old piece of literature. It also manages to be condescending both to Shakespeare and to the player because you clearly buy games to be talked down to. Semi-competent writing, boring…”
