Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“The chapters consist mostly of 1–5 minute cinematics with only a handful of QTEs and choices, bringing the total playtime to under two hours. The story feels abruptly cut short, as if development was halted mid-way. [b]RATING: 2/10[/b]”
“A so-called masterpiece of propaganda, masked with a touch of deception and a blatantly one-sided perspective. Utterly disgraceful.”
