Admittedly, most of the "Mostly Negative" Steam reviews seem to be reacting to the fact they exist at all, without considering whether they're actually critical to your progress in the game or not (for clarity, they are not).

I didn’t know we were only allowed to write reviews based on things critical to your progress. I didn’t know how many companions you have or what your character looks like weren’t critical. I bet if we searched even a little we’d find a RockPaperShotgun review of “non critical” game features.

What horseshit.

MTX have become normalized and it's fucking depressing to see. So many people defend their existence, truly a sad time for the industry.

From what I heard it costs $2 to change your characters appearance. I watched moist criticals video on it kept crashing.

You can get the items for free by finding them or pay barbers in the villages for it instead. Similar to the first game, the first one was just niche so didn’t have a huge crowd throwing fits instead of reading or even playing the game

It doesn’t. You can do it in game for free very easily. You really should not get all your opinions from YouTubers
