ENG: Simply incredible, I loved every second of it, the story, the theme, the freedom to move around the small city, its funny moments, countless objects and small mechanics that make it a super complete game. Among all that package there are also some bugs but I liked it so much that didn't bother me. Recently they announced a free DLC that serves as a sequel. I highly recommend it. ESP: Simplemente increíble, me encanto cada segundo del juego, la historia, la temática, la libertad para moverse por la pequeña ciudad, sus momentos graciosos, incontables objetos y pequeñas mecánicas que lo hacen un juego super completo. Dentro de todo ese paquete también vienen algunos bugs pero me gusto tanto que no me importaron. Hace poco anunciaron que sacaran un DLC gratuito que sirve de secuela. Lo recomiendo muchísimo.3 found this helpful
