Completionists have 54 achievements to work through. Its Metacritic score stands at 68. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. Being 6 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. 13 languages are covered by the store listing. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand.

Over 15 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported.
