- “Turning is awful, shooting sucks, your character rotates themselves while trying to aim, overall not polished, horrible graphics, textures that seem like they've been stretched for a mile and a half longer than they were meant for, in some spots you can see right through the map, and you walk on water like you're Jesus.”
