    • “There's some bugs; thankfully, the major ones are just small visual glitches like character dying animations or the funny 'dying' during transitions (don't worry, you only hear a scream but no death). Personally, I didn't find anything game-breaking except for some soft-locking, but that's just the player's fault, to be honest, because some sections have to be completed in a specific order. Although the punishment is quite severe for those going for 100% achievements.”
