- “Gameplay is unmatchable, makes the Yakuza series look like a joke.”
- “To whoever loves games with an in-depth story, awesome characters, total and utter freedom, non-repetitive gameplay, awesome crafting system, freedom in dialogue, a game that wants you to do whatever you want, a game that requires logic to beat, a game that barely has any bugs and glitches, a game that was extremely looked after during creation, a game that has true open world.”
- “That being the biggest issue, since the game is all about the girls to begin with, the gameplay itself is mediocre.”
