    • “Good graphics, music is okay, and loads of fun.”
    • “There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”

    • “Graphics are what you'd expect, music is jazzy, sounds are annoying.”

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players have noted improvements in the grinding aspect of the game, particularly praising the developers for reducing the difficulty of achievements, making them more attainable.
