Forgot to review this back when I was having issues, but yeah the game was fine until after the first cutscene where I was just stuck in an infinite loading screen. I searched and tried all the fixes I could find and nothing would work, reinstalled the game, etc. I can't believe this game is still being sold in such a state.

cant even play the game anymore

This game was released 10 years ago, and it's still amazing.
Even the graphics are good.
Nothing but love <3 !
