What players say
83% of 3,204 reviews are positive · 80% of 40 in the last 30 days
Players praise the fishing combat, pixel art, and humor, especially the references to Viva La Dirt League's sketches. Their most common complaint is that repetitive fetch quests require too much backtracking, while fast travel becomes available too late.
