As let down as I am

Although AJ Glasser of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GamePro awarded the game a rating of 4 stars out of five, she gave a mixed review of the game, writing "As let down as I am, though, I'm not ready to get out my pitchfork. Some things in this game kept me coming back for 20 hours. [...] The Sims Medieval is a beautiful game with fun and interesting ideas, but it doesn't live up to my fantasy of the Middle Ages and it doesn't completely satisfy the Sims fan in me.
<Of Reception in The Sims Medieval from WikiPedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sims_Medieval>
I'd like to know if "As let down as I am" means "Although I am let down."
Thank you in advance for your help.

Yes, you are understanding the clause correctly, except that the first ("As let down as I am") expresses to what extent the person is let down. "

Yes, you are understanding the clause correctly, except that the first ("As let down as I am") expresses to what extent the person is let down. It sounds like worse disappointment than "Although I am let down."
