Ratings and Reviews
Nostalgia and novelty
Immersing into this game brought with it a style that is tremendously welcome. I love the layout, interaction, etc. The way that this game fosters interaction is very special, and adds a whole new dynamic that is very fun. And I have learned about 50 words in French to boot! It’s a win-win.
New game…still things to work
So far I’m REALLLY enjoying the game. What I love about the game is that I can have my own player and experience somewhat of like an open world game. I can write in Spanish and speak in Spanish to the non-playable characters. However, I do notice that there are some glitches in the game. Of course it is a new game so I expect that to happen. Sometimes it will erase my name or it will erase some of the things I’ve done even though I’ve saved the game prior to exiting out. However, that doesn’t stop me from just liking the game. I understand it’s a new game and there are things to work out. However, I really really am enjoying the game and I can’t wait to see how it improves overtime.
Can’t Load saved game???
I was really enjoying the game until I closed the app only to discover I had to completely restart the game.. fine my bad I didn’t save. Then I replay some of the game, save my progress. Open the game up again on my lunch break at work until to not find a option to load my save.. maybe I’m just stupid. But I don’t see any options to load. Do I need to create an account (I don’t want to do that) but I’m not sure what I’m missing.
