Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I want there to be a 'middle-ground' rating, not just 'i do (not) reccomend this. This game LOOKS fun, let me say. The problem is, there are never any servers open. Opening your own doesn't come up with any results, and if you play a game…”
“Maybe with time this could shape up to be a fun game. I didn't give it much of a chance but with the lack of people playing online and the early state of the game this was a chore, not fun.”
