Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.

“There might be a good story here but the combat makes the story have no value. I have tried to play this game a few times but I just cant ever get into it because Combat does not feel like a rewarding experience, It feels like a punishment…”
