This report is utter bullshit, it was not wrll received at all, with all the bugs and glitches, 90% of people who bought it took to steam to complain, even now, people are experiencing save and loading glitches, crew freezes, and falling through the map on a regular basis. The other 10% of people requested a refund. So when you say the game was well received and the the positiviy rate was at 70%, i dont know what the hell you are talking about!

It wasn’t us who said this, it was a quote from one of the publishers. It was also from over 12 months ago and a comment made about the game feedback in Early Access when it had a near 70% positive rating. If you have issues, you should take them up with the developers. The best we can do as a news outlet is pass on your comments.
