    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “That being said, your worst enemy is not the poorly implemented AI and horrendous visuals, but the map as it can be really easy to get lost during your journey.”
    • “It also takes 6 minutes to load the game, which makes no sense for a game the size of my backyard with terrible graphics.”

  • music
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The game starts with a 20 seconds theme music featuring harmonica, then we are greeted with a 3 minutes loading screen.”

While the game features good ideas, mechanics, and textures, it ultimately falls short in delivering a fulfilling gameplay experience.

    • “Good idea, nice mechanics, and great textures.”
