I will not actually rate this because I'd consider it rude, but the following I feel is VERY IMPORTANT for any curious Playstation 5 owner who sees this game they've heard Rob Zacny wax so philosophical about is actually available on a console and thinks they might want to see what all the fuss is about:

If you've seen literally six seconds of footage of this game you should understand why Sony and Paradox Interactive have done console gamers such a favor offering up a three hour trial to Playstation Plus subscribers. The tutorial takes what feels like two hours to complete on a DualSense (actual time: about 30 minutes) and the exact moment the training wheels are taken off the bike gets wobbly as fuck.

I think I made it five minutes before I realized without at least a mouse, the PS5 port is a noble if equally, dubiously villainous effort. Noble in that the madmen did it, evil in that anyone who spends money on this version is either their own worst enemy or woefully unprepared to want their money back soon.
