“For a game that has been released over 13 years ago as of 2026, it holds up well enough throughout its entirety. It does have some bits which feel like it drags over for too long, some mechanics that make you question…”

“This game...oh boy...this game is AMAZING. The story, the mechanics, the characters, the sidecontent, and the fact that it's replayable...I am gonna invest so many hours into this game.”

“Great game, finished it multiple times on ps3. It can be a bit jank tho on pc, My save corrupted a couple levels before the end of the game and I couldn't fix it.”
