What creators say (YouTube)
1 review videos analyzed: 1 positive0 mixed0 negative
Alors que le créateur YouTube salue globalement le contenu, les graphismes et le prix, les joueurs Steam se montrent beaucoup plus partagés. On observe notamment une forte divergence sur le contenu et le modèle économique, jugés insuffisants ou trop chers par une large part de la communauté sur Steam, même si l'avis de la vidéo reste une simple tendance à nuancer vu le faible échantillon.
