Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Obnoxious characters and mediocre writing. It's fine if you have nothing else to play. But for $10 there's plenty of other better games. They added volume sliders after 10 years which is apparently a very big deal for the developers.”
