    • “The game does fall short on replayability; yes, the maps are always different with the procedural generation of each mission, but the objectives are the same.”

    • “This game looked and presented itself as if it was going to be a much bigger experience, but I'm realizing now that it's just a really good marketing campaign and a cash grab.”
