- “The gameplay is really good, and the missions are also good.”
- “The game has way too many bugs, and it sometimes seems like the developers don't test the different missions before updating.”

- “That said, if the devs ever manage to make the game run smoothly and without game-breaking bugs, the biggest issue remains in my opinion: the complete lack of freedom when handling missions.”
