- “The story is barely explained.”
- “Unreal Engine 4 or not, the game has ugly textures and effects and it is too dark for you to see, and there's nothing, I repeat nothing, that makes you want to continue once you're an hour or so in the story.”
- “The problem is that the textures are usually quite ugly and the game frequently changes your vision - while this is part of the story, it is annoying to see things blurry around yourself for several minutes.”

humor
