Some of those changes seem fairly significant. Hopefully it improves the overall opinion on the game which has been terrible so far.

I mean, you can come back from MIXED, which might be because of QoL complaints. But from Mostly Negative?

I remember recommending to not put any negative words into your game title regards financial success. "Broken". Yeah, whoever brainstormed the title, it was prophetic. Another Steam bookmark I'm forced to delete. (

Urban Strife is still there, though!

To be fair to them, the overall score is actually "Mixed". It is only the recent reviews that are Mostly Negative.

Gives me a FCKN pseudo-heart-stress attack each time I see one of my bookmarked hopeful games trashed on Steam with bad reviews. Immediately makes me dread a dark future, where our game gets same treatment.
