— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“Not sure how this is still for sale. The game has been broken for a few years. Ubisoft doesn't support it either.

— a player, Steam review · 43 hrs played“In it's current state of abandonment this is a pile of flaming hot garbage. Do not buy. Not even for $0.99”
