Tech & Support appears in 56% of analyzed reviews and ranks 1150th of 1399. 87 reviews report bugs and crashes, including crashes to desktop and quest blocking bugs, and a few say it feels like an unfinished build. 44 point to poor optimization, with frame drops in cutscenes and heavy load on hardware. 40 say the controls and combat feel clunky, with unresponsive inputs, long recovery animations and a weak UI.
