Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I don't see how this game is as popular as it is. The art and setting are good, but that's really it. The rest is pretty mediocre.”
“Severely overrated, a lot of the negative reviews are true. The game is clunky and has Dark Souls 2 levels of bs and annoyance. The only real redeeming qualities are the overall art direction and the story (if you bother to figure it out)…”
