I thought about posting this in the OT, but I believe this warrants its own thread both to warn potential consumers about the game, and to have a discussion about glitches and the things we can do to avoid them.
I made it through about 75% of the game when I had a sudden crash. Upon rebooting the game, my save file data was corrupted and unplayable. Chalking it up to one-time occurrence, I restarted the game from the beginning. 60% in, the game crashed, and once again, my save file data was corrupted and unplayable.
The game certainly feels glitchy. There's weird collision, texture pop-in, and animations failing to play out, but I chalked those up to the inevitabilities of a PS2 era remake.
What is not excusable is the fact that I'm not even able to beat this game. I can't get past the later levels without my game crashing and the save file corrupting.
Straight up, don't buy this game. Don't buy it until THQ Nordic patches it and makes it actually playable and completable. Spend your money on platformers that you can actually complete like Mario Odyssey, Ratchet and Clank, A Hat in Time, or even Yooka-Laylee. All of which are actually playable.
What's insane is when I tried to send THQ Nordic support an email, it won't let me saying CAPTCHA validation had an error. On two devices.
I'm playing on PS4, but from what I've heard the Switch version is even worse. This is a children's game. They shouldn't have to be worried about their save file being corrupted.
There's no excuse for the state this game is in. Also, if anyone has a direct email to THQ Nordic support, please let me know.
