Avoid this -Too buggy

[ChanelOberlin494]

I’m on my second playthrough and I’m honestly ashamed of these devs. Two years ago the game released yet the sheer number of game breaking bugs is astounding. 
 

The biggest I’m encountering on my current run is just random texture build up blocking off entire areas of the game and halting all progress. I legit can’t progress because rocks and walls are appearing where they shouldn’t be.

 

 

it’s a damn shame too as the game itself is fantastic but bugs like this still being W thing two years after release is absolutely unacceptable

I think it's important to note that Ghost of a Tale was largely developed by a one-man team. A game like that is going to be buggier than your average AAA title.

 

That being said, I didn't run into any major issues while playing this little gem. 60 fps on PS5, zero crashes and only one minor bug, where I suddenly couldn't swap items (fixed by restarting the game).

 

If the game looks interesting to you, I would have no trouble recommending it.

no bugs whatsoever and that was over 2 playthroughs

It's a great game though. Went and bought collector's edition last year after I beat the game half a year prior to that. A few hit detection issues here and there but nothing gamebreaking. Allows multiple save states which can be of use to avoid drama like the one OP mentioned. The collectibles are tricky so saving often to try different dialogue options became kinda essential during my playthrough anyway. Honestly I can't recommend this game enough despite its budgetary limitations and I'm all in for the sequel.

DO NOT avoid this game. Play it ASAP. It's a work of art, a passionate project. Loved every second of it. Took me exactly 10 hours without skipping any dialogue. Did not encounter any glitch or problem. It's currently available on Extra.

I love the game but I can't finish Lore Master because the skappbeetles bug out on me. Pretty annoying to deal with as the game's quite long. Otherwise a fun game.

 

To be specific, the West Courtyard one near the Ramparts/Far  Tower door. It doesn't appear there.

I just finished it and besides not being given my final skill I didn't run into any issues.

I ran into some minor bugs like not being given option to burn banner with a candlestick but nothing game breaking.

The only thing I noticed was that banners would look burned but actually weren’t if you burned them and reloaded.
