Great but buggy – This War of Mine Review

Loses a star for all the bugs. Been following this game since its early pc days. Absolutely love it. That being said, the constant bugs that I encounter during game play really take away from the glory at times. Here’s some I regularly encounter: -when game is minimized and brought back up, screen is black but game sound and music is playing. -when attempting to bandage a wounded character, the progress “wheel” gets stuck in perpetual action, never completing, never healing or applying the bandage. I also cannot force the character out of this perpetual loop. If i get another character to heal a character then both characters are then stuck in this loop. So i have no choice but to either restart the day or just end the day. Intermittent. -when game is minimized and brought back up, its like it “timed out” or i chose to quit and i have to restart the latest day all over again. Intermittent. -when game is minimized and brought back up, no sound from gameplay or music can be heard at all. Obviously losing progress is my biggest peeve since save points are sparse as is one of the intended functionality behind the game. But seeing how this is now a mobile-able game, it should be able to handle being minimized with no issues.
