What players say
This game is gas but PLEASE make the 4k textures a separate download/optimize the storage. Other than that so much fun
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
Make a build yourself without any prior knowledge, the build works until it doesnt. Search up a build guide online: you destroy everything including your fps. Game fun.
The design philosophy of this game feels like it came from someone who was inconvenienced once by a slow checkout line and wanted to take that frustration out on their players.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
