This game is amazing, however with the constant crashes when trying to start the game, the game does not start and if it does say that it is "running", there is nothing showing.

A further 4 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.
