Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I like what they're going for here but it just doesn't come together for me. I think part of it comes from an over reliance on narrative text. I don't think every enemy need to have a narrative. It really bogs down the game and makes runs…”
