“Recent user voice shows a frustrated sentiment. Users appreciate engaging core gameplay, but report technical instability and crashes and poor mac ui integration.”
What Users Love
It was a good game before it stopped working.
I really love this game I only got it yesterday on the mac and I fell in love
Pain Points
This would potentially be a great game if it worked for more than one minute before crashing.
The game won’t even start. Icon appears in Dock, crashes and an error report opens.
When you aim down you open the task bar and usually opeen another game or app
When I play it on one screen, the dock won’t stay hidden so I end up clicking apps.
I hit a wall where i had pay to win or always almost make it past the level.
It is a stealth/shoot em up game, but it was made only to make money and forces you to pay money to continue the game
