To make issues worse, its participant concurrency seems to already be heading to the ground after only a few days of life.
In case you might have forgotten about this recreation, we’ll have a rundown of the entire headlines under, however its greatest headline got here in 2023, when its dev group printed faux glowing testimonials from a number of press retailers (together with us) on its Kickstarter web page.
