After excellent reviews from journalists, the game from the Polish studio Rebel Wolves faced a mixed reaction from players. Currently, 74% of reviews on Steam are positive.
One of the main complaints was the optimization of the PC version. On some configurations, the game performs worse than users expected.
The absence of the Russian language also caused dissatisfaction, leading to negative reviews from some Russian-speaking audience. Also, players from Japan complained about censorship of bloody scenes.
One user wrote:
I am not Russian and do not live in Russia, but I speak Russian, as do 60% of the inhabitants of my country, which is millions. Millions speak Russian, including people who do not live in Russia. I was really looking forward to this game. You deserved a negative review.
However, the launch was successful: at its peak, The Blood of Dawnwalker was simultaneously launched by over 44 thousand players.
