Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Another game suffering from a player completion rate of less than 10 percent. Character interactions are slow and cumbersome, and everything feels sluggish all the time. I always felt as though I was trying to save the world with some…”
“I listen to the 99 Vidas Podcast and really wanted to like the game. That wasn't the case. The game has problems balancing the enemies (player's speed and reach is lower than the enemies, allowing them to grab you but you can't do a thing)…”
