The game received "average" reviews according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.[4]
gollark: It's now impossible. Bad poorly specified English has spread too widely.
gollark: English_irl.
gollark: At least the UK... has... Llanfairpwllgwyngyll?
gollark: Over here you *pay* for university, ish, via somewhat convoluted financial arrangements which result in most people not actually paying the full price anyway.
gollark: The whole thing of working for a particular amount of hours at particular times is very uncool and unnecessary in a lot of cases.
