« Suda51 makes Hideo Kojima look sane. The game feels unique, despite being built in Unreal Engine 5. It will teach you how to hit on women with 100% success. They should have priced the game at $51 instead of $49.99. »

« Love Suda's games and his art style. This one is just not it. Very weak gameplay, ok story and very bad level design overall. It's fun for the first 1-3 hours and then it gets repetitive and boring. Would not recommend. »
