Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“So you abandoned this game just to go make another early access survival/crafting game called Guardians of the wild sky... Are you planning to abandon that too?”
“Another game that fell to the promise of being great. Empty promises mean nothing. Don't buy games in early access unless you are okay with losing that money. I believe all games that are abandoned should be refunded in full for the price…”
