Steam review, 21 August 2026 · 26 hours played · 7 readers marked it helpful------------------------------- Mid PC Optimization: On my system it runs fine at 60fps the majority of the time but will get some terrible stuttering when moving between areas.

A further 12 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.
