Laika: Aged Through Blood is a western-inspired motorvania set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. It is the story about a tribe oppressed by occupant forces, and the personal story of a mother coyote warrior who descends on an endless path of vengeance to take back what her people lost.
Great game, but there's some problems, minor spoilers.
As from the title, this is a great game, possibly one of my personal favorites now. But I am having a big problem... My game crashes after I enter one of the three boss rooms for "A Caterpillar Made of Sadness". So I get access to one of the doors and go in and its all fine, until I load in and drive either left or right and get out of the door frame, where my game freezes a little and I lose sound for a min or two and then it crashes. I restarted my console, I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, deleted and made new game saves, removed all of the data and replayed the game, yet it still happens. I looked online yet anything remotely close to my problem is for PC and/or for a different problem entirely. I'm still giving five stars because without this problem it'll be perfect and hopefully this can be seen. I know this game just recently got on console, I got it on the day it released and waited since last week, so I'm pretty patient but I just want to continue the story.

Amazing game, slight problem!
I absolutely love the game, great art, unique concepts, however, its been crashing really consistently, especially during loading points, i would definitely rate 5/5 if not for this bug. Update, i think the bug relates to the settings, specifically walkie speed, because all of my crashes happened during a walkie part, and only when the setting was anything different then 1.00. Although this sounds like a problem you can fix just by changing the setting, i noticed the settings themselves have a bug that makes the settings randomly change. Please fix!

Interesting mix of genres but...
Is it fun? I had to ask myself this when a bug erased 4 hours of gameplay forcing me to refight all The Mine bosses again. My conclusion was "Sort of", which wasn't enough for me to press on after my 10 already played. Especially with fear of losing save data again. I regret buying and wouldn't recommend until they fix the game.

Bugged beyond belief (w/ workaround)
Was loving it for the first 30 minutes but game constantly freezes w/in 5 seconds of starting the game. Uninstalling/reinstalling multiple times did nothing. Game is unplayable w/ no patch in sight. Devs provided no response to X enquiries. Would love to recommend but cant w/ current support. Would NOT purchase at current state. UPDATE: Changed to 3 stars as game desperately needs a patch. Random setting changes tanks game but can be worked around. Would give a 5 once its fixed.

Good until it didn't save
The game is great. It would easily get a 5 star, but several hours of progress were lost due to a bug. Don't have the heart to continue now.
