What players say
Players praise the clever blend of Chinese mythology and modern gameplay, especially the hidden ghosts and motorcycling through hell. The story is complete and emotional, with a memorable ending. Some note tense time-based mazes, offset by a compassionate mode. A few call it 'too eerie,' but the writing and exploration of Fengdu city are widely enjoyed.
