“Only a couple of hours into playing, and I hate that I'm in it and somehow can't get the hang of the balance system in this game (frustrating for personal reasons, not gameplay reasons).”
“There is plenty of challenge in this gameplay where, throughout your exploration on 'the dark web', you will fall and have to get up again and again to get through this game with some (horror) suspense features and sounds.”
