5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The Casting of Frank Stone has by far the best graphics in a Supermassive game, and the gameplay is alright, and overall it is an okay-ish experience, especially in co-op with a friend, although being locked into playing a group of characters is plain dumb, and if judged from all points of view, this game is only slightly above mediocre.
