The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I do think this is a good game, my problem with it is I don't think it's worth buying. It's a 20-40 minute intro to the full game. I don't think they should be selling this and it should be a free demo, selling it for even as low as £5.79…”
