July 2025
This game is fun, short and the voice controls work ok most of the time, even being a little janky sometimes I think its very fun and I liked to use it very much. The game can be a little hard on the last missions. The story is nice, the characters are nice and the visuals are nice, its a nice game all and all. Even tho the game is quite cheap I got it at a discount, I recommend it even at full price. It has tons of different languages for you to use, your native language is probably one of those.
