This is one of my favourite games. One of three games I've given five stars and for what the game is, I've spent far too many hours swinging around on here and speedrunning on PC over the past two years.
So, I figured I'd buy the recently released PS4 version so I could play it in bed while also supporting the developers but this version lacks a lot of polish.
As a trophy hunter, I thought this would be the easiest Platinum Trophy I would ever get but nope! One trophy is literally impossible to get as either you can't watch other people's replays or no-one has the game to be able to make them so you can watch them.
Although Marathon Mode isn't in this version, you still have the bit where the lil robot says "you unlocked Marathon Mode" and the camera pans over to where the purple crystal would be and it's just not there haha.
But then there's just a lot of screen-tearing and visual glitches too. Platforms not spawning in or randomly placed invisible blocks that kill you that aren't there in the PC version. Plus, some stuttering and very frequent game crashes.
Probably most annoying though is the "aim assist" (?). I turned motion controls off but after that, it would randomly snap to nothing or the camera would just move around without me doing anything. (EDIT: I've since realised this could've been me just holding the controller in my weird way and accidentally touching the touchpad of the DualSense controller which also moves the camera, but you can't disable this future so it's still dumb and not good for people who hold controllers like I do)
As someone who adores this game, I think it sucks that a lot of people's only exposure to this game is kind of broken. On PC, it's perfect. But this PS4 version being played on PS5, while maintaining that addicting fluid movement with great levels, is under this mess which I hope is resolved.
