  1. Crashes and freezes111 of 300 (37%)

    Firstly you'll have to patch it with an official ubi patch which will simply swap some gamebreaking bugs and crashes with a different batch of bugs.

    Steam review, 2 August 2025 · 13 hours played · 35 readers marked it helpful

    Garbage that deletes your saved games when it crashes (frequently).

    Steam review, 12 December 2023 · 2 hours played · 19 readers marked it helpful
  2. Performance and stutter12 of 300 (4%)

    Like the other reviews, this is a horrendous, unoptimized, buggy mess that is completely broken even with community patches.

    Steam review, 16 April 2026 · 0 hours played · 7 readers marked it helpful

    The missions are only about 20 minutes each and I'm averaging 10+ crashes per level, and that's AFTER following optimization guides and installing mod patches.

    Steam review, 22 December 2025 · 19 hours played · 2 readers marked it helpful

A further 46 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.
