The game has been on many players’ radars for quite some time and has had a relatively good reception, but that’s not to say it’s been free of controversy. Recent allegations towards the studio have included questions regarding the game funding, with some worried the studio was taking funding from Russian authorities, something the studio has neither confirmed nor denied.
