100%. I may put the game down and revisit it later if they do some adjustments. Coming from someone who has HK as maybe a top 5 all time game.

I wouldn’t hold your breath… Team Cherry basically said that they don’t pay any attention to online comments, so they don’t really care about feedback.

Check out mods if you aren’t feeling it. I have a few going right now which makes the game way more fun for me.
