Steam review, 30 June 2023 · 1 hours played · 100 readers marked it helpfulI love this game to death, I really do but not only did they add DRM for a single player game, it bricks the ability to play it on steam deck and also can brick the entire system if you're unlucky.

A further 1 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.
