What players say
Gameplay is pretty solid 1 or 2 bad levels but mostly a good time for the price.
I like pretty much all inti creates games. they all have a familiarity to them that is fun. they are quirky and fun. this one is no different. i do wish it did cloud saving. when i switched over to my current computer i didn't realize that was the case so i have been waiting to start it up. its on the steamdeck and i bet it will run like butter. love these guys
60 hour tutorial followed by basically-mandatory multiplayer scaled quest difficulty. Kind of a waste of time. It's a neat game with neat ideas that dead-ends as soon as you get to a certain point in the quest progression. Wasted potential, really unfortunate.
