Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I'm gonna keep this short: This game is BEYOND DIFFICULT. I made as much progress as I could, (about 1/5 through the game) got brick-walled, spent a half hour trying to get past just a single fight, and now I can't refund it anymore…”
“Sadly, I can't recommend this game even though it definitely deserves a look through. It simply doesn't much new beyond its first twenty minutes that's worth the price of admission, nor the time. If you enjoy it, that's great, but I can't…”
