Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“This game was exhausting to play. It spent too much time having you fight waves of enemies in one level bogging down any feeling of progress. It was so bad that often when I completed a level I didn't feel joy or satisfaction just drained…”
“Sure, there's a lot of booty in this game, but have you considered that the game itself *is* booty? But really though, this is one of the worst things I've played in a while.”
