Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Ran this at max settings. 3840x2160. Framerate locked to 90. I had zero issues with performance. Used DualSense/wired. Although I had no issues. The controls were responsive. Just the sensitivity was a little hot. The sharpness in Liminal…”
“If you can get it for $1 then maybe it's worth it... just an absolute slog. Had a couple cool parts, but most of the time I felt myself saying, "why am I still doing this?" and do not want to go back to get the acheivements.”
