👎 Where it falls short
Pricing & Fairness appears in 30% of analyzed reviews and ranks 1163rd of 1399. 63 reviews object to the price, with many saying the full experience needs a long list of paid DLC, and some advise buying only on a deep sale. 27 report stability problems, and a few describe wiped saves or paid DLC locked when the online check fails. 19 find the onboarding rough, saying the learning curve is steep and the tutorial explains too little.
