  2. Performance and stutter9 of 300 (3%)

    This port is so unoptimized and it can kill your experience.

    Steam review, 28 July 2026 · 56 hours played · 6 readers marked it helpful

    Absolutely awful port, not at all optimized for modern hardware, frame rate is complete garbage, basically unplayable.

    Steam review, 22 October 2025 · 6 hours played · 1 readers marked it helpful

A further 41 reviews call the game buggy or broken without saying how, which is why they are counted separately rather than assigned to a theme. Counted by keyword across review text, so a review discussing two problems is counted under both. Read the reviews yourself.
