What players say
G String is a complicated game for me, there are a lot of things I can complain about that would give this game a bad review from me: The gameplay is claustrophobic and repetitive, the level design is amateurish, the lore and worldbuilding are derivative, the puzzles are simple and not well implemented, a couple of assets clash, the game drags on and can overstay its welcome, the AI and combat lifted from HL2...
