“Ok what the heck did they do to this game?! The latest "update" completely wonked it all out. Scenes are missing, moves are completely wrong, and what used to be a solid game is now a hot mess. I'm disappointed as this game used to be…”

“This used to be a decent port but then in 2017 they updated it and basically ruined it. Achievements don't work, scenes repeat often and even on the highest difficulty, it's missing several parts.”
