There is a level that freezes completely at the exact same spot every time, and I have to restart the computer just to exit the game.

Softlocks and broken quests9 of 300 (3%)
It's possible to lock yourself out of 100% completion, completely softlock and ruin your save file, and there's crashes that can only be averted by tinkering with the games configuration files.
Steam review, 15 February 2023 · 37 hours played · 1 readers marked it helpful
However, this game is NOT optimized for PC and you will likely encounter MANY game breaking bugs which can soft lock your save permanently!
Steam review, 29 June 2026 · 20 hours played

A further 42 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.
