The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I've played enough to know two things... 1.) the canned story has variation, but if you have to keep playing through the story, the puzzle elements become much easier... not to mention, you can literally have the game solve it for you …”
“xcom with coldwar spies. Nothing groundbreaking, but decently fun. Good way to kill a few hours. The negative review is in regard to the pricetag. I got this one on sale, but there is no way I'd pay full price for it.”
