“Kind of on the fence with this game. It's very simple and works well enough but it just lacks depth. Starts of like a fun arcade game but gets kind of dull after a while.”
“Not even kidding, the DLC is so bad it ruins the whole game - I want to like this game but it's just not even fun with the DLC. I played this on switch years ago before the DLC and it was good. Trash , refund immediately or suffer”
