Key Verbatims

Citations are automatically translated to English by AI.

"Boring writing and repetitive gameplay relegated the single-player story-driven game to background entertainment while listening to podcasts."

"Full of new ideas and innovations, showing effort in gameplay design despite other concerns."

"Voice actors' performances in the Japanese version are outstanding and substantially enhance story quality."

"Account issue preventing gameplay in singleplayer game."

"Ubisoft criticized for forcing Ubisoft Connect installation, calling it garbage clogging up PC. Demands the studio do better."

"Loot system is a fundamental misfire. After clearing first outpost, legendary gear is handed out, incentivizing sticking with it. By late-game, forced to grind for materials or use underpowered gear. With two protagonists and twelve equipment slots, loot distribution becomes chaotic and unmotivating."
