Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“The game is a classic, but it's available for free and without the "falling asleep causes deafness" bug that this "version" suffers from.”
“This Nethack has been abandoned by these devs and keeps freezing on me, and on top of all that, Nethack is free to download elsewhere on the internet, so I highly recommend Nethack, just not here on steam from these developers”
