- “Amazing game with nothing short of perfect gameplay.”
- “I've played games that are janky but still funny, but having terrible graphical optimizations, lagging mouse controls, and a barely working sprint button that only triggers after holding for 1 second is just obnoxious. Even worse, the scanning trigger is delayed so much that I have to wait, breaking gameplay flow, while also wanting to look at the bad customers. It's just unforgivable.”
