“This game is very good; it has stunning graphics. This game is so good, I love it. Keep it up!”

I am still in the part where it says 'physically physical blah blah blah,' but to the point where it is so laggy I cannot click the continue button. I remember this game being really good, but according to the recent reviews, I'm not rating it a 4. I would've if it would let me play the game. Devs, please fix this before the intro; maybe put a lower graphics and higher graphics option.”
“It's a nice game, but they need to improve their graphic design.”
“This is the worst game ever because it is a pay-to-win game and it is not worth it to download because it was so laggy for a low graphic game. I wouldn't recommend this game.”
