Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I love the game when I can actually play. I would recommend this when it is on sale for people who have a group of 6 to regularly play with. I've tried contacting the developers multiple times, but cannot get any sort of response from them…”
“Okay for 2$ but I wouldn't buy it for its original price. The game is very unbalanced and weirdly paced. No cooldown/charge-up for the killer into predator mode and out of predator mode which allows them to abuse it. They can also turn…”
