“A classic, possibly for nostalgia reasons. Needs autosave so I don't have to remember to do it manually in case it crashes or gets soft-locked.”
“FANTASTIC GAME! DO NOT PLAY THE REMASTER! This version of the game is riddled with bugs. And not funny hehe bugs, bugs that make you wonder if a SINGLE person did any play testing on this remaster. THANK YOU DISNEY FOR…”
