The reviews reflect a mix of enthusiasm for the game itself, highly praising its storytelling, characters, and gameplay, contrasted with intense criticism of the new EULA changes that many perceive as spyware. This contrast creates a situation where players who love the game are unwilling to support it further, leading to a largely negative sentiment towards corporate practices while still acknowledging the game's qualities.
