« I would rather eat cow manure covered rocks, then play this game again, it ruined my marriage, made me lose the kids, and now my grandma has testicular cancer. Would recommend, 10/10. »👍 anonymous review · 27 h played9211« The first 5-6 hours of gameplay will make you want to kill yourself. The physics engine is really hard to get a grasp on so the best advice i have for beginners is to just get hours on the game and find the right setup for you. »👍 anonymous review · 47 h played11« I mean, 46 hours in just a few days.
