“Great game (and series) but i highly Recommend against buying this port of the game as This is a Single core Preformence type game meaning Due Core + cpu's will break this game (Unless you use mods or such) Again i really do love this game…”
“Amazing game with an unbelievably bad PC port that sadly makes this almost unplayable.”
