Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Braindead AI Terrible implementation of helicopters and AA Framerate issues and chugging. Bizarre armor penetration choices Glitches from previous game still present.”
“Not recommended due to crashes and a general feel that the game was released too early. If these get fixed, and you enjoyed HQ WW2 as I did, it will be a decent game, but in its current state I'd hang on before buying.”
