- Performance and stutter25 of 300 (8%)
While problems of that scale weren’t common, but the abundance of smaller stuttering, getting stuck or your companions just standing in a rat swarm without a single care - those got frustrating really quick.
Steam review, 24 November 2024 · 22 hours played · 6 readers marked it helpfulExtremely beautiful, striking art direction but janky gameplay and quite unoptimized.

• If you die during a fight, or in one of my cases when the game crashes, none of your consumables that you used during that fight respawn with you.

A further 17 reviews call the game buggy or broken without saying how, which is why they are counted separately rather than assigned to a theme. Counted by keyword across review text, so a review discussing two problems is counted under both. Read the reviews yourself.
