A bug with clouds skipping frames is very noticeable, and the game was crashing all the time when I was playing the first DLCs until I locked the FPS to 60.

[*]🐛 La copie est techniquement faiblarde : aliasing, clipping, chutes de framerate… même cette Definitive Edition n'a pas vraiment réglé les soucis.

A further 30 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.
