    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really liked the game but there are still some game breaking bugs. When starting Ng+ I wanted to get ending A, so at the beginning I went left towards the city instead of right. After the cutscene my save file was lost. After restarting the game I kept getting the 'save file corrupted' message. So no Ng+ for me or the true ending. Sucks… Expand

    I really like this game, but at this moment you should no buy it for the PS4 because it is not a stable release. The PS4 port has memory leaksI really like this game, but at this moment you should no buy it for the PS4 because it is not a stable release. The PS4 port has memory leaks issues that cause the game to crash and corrupt all save files.

    There's a thread on Reddit about it that has been inactive for almost an year. The devs explain that the issue is with the game engine that has problems with the PS4 plataform, and they cannot do anything about it until the engine is updated and fixed.

    My main issue is that the game is still available for sale in the PS Store without a disclaimer about this game breaking bug. The devs also said they are willing to give Steam or Switch keys to anyone who bought the PS4 port, but I tried to contact them and the publisher and got no response.

    It is shame really, because besides the occasional audio mixing issues; the music sometimes get really quiet; everything else about this game is great, the classes, weapons, combat, level design, enemy variety and enemy AI.

    I only can hope that someday the PS4 port gets fixed, otherwise, you should only get this game on Steam or Switch because they seem to not have the corrupt save file issue.    … Expand
