    • “As soon as you pick up an acorn and try to run back to base, the lackluster camera mechanics leave you running blind (often into a wall, a river, or just off the map completely). As amazing as this game 'could' be, instead it just leaves you feeling frustrated.”
    • “I want to give this game 5 stars, but one simple game mechanic has dropped it to a 1 star.”
