“Amnesia with LESS DIH (thanks censorship) and TRIPLE the motion blur!!! Like holy [censorship] i got more [censorship] up by the game's motion blur then 12 shots in a minute..Blehhh~ 100 minutes worth of trial an error more or less…”
“Would have needed way more polish to be worth 15 bucks. Too short, too bad looking and a little too buggy for 15 bucks. If you can get it with a major discount maybe its worth checking out.”
