Ratings and reviews

Great game, those interested in compelling and detailed worldview will especially appreciate it! It is definitively less linear than other Choice of Games or Hosted Games. I'm surprised it doesn't have a higher score (possibly latest patch had addressed much of the earlier criticism?) Anyway, highly recommended!

By far, the worst Hosted Games game that ever came out. Its not completely clear to me if this was just not my kind of game, or if it was just bad all around. To me the story was very poor in execution, but it had a very interesting concept. I can't deny that Im disappointed in Hosted Games, though.
