What players say
If neutral was an option i would choose it. The game is fun, but at the time of writing (5 hours of playtime) i don't have any new stuff to do except grind the same contet untill you reach 100%. It's a shame, because it is fun, but it is just very short. Buy on sale, if not then skip.
