What players say
Players are split on One Dog Story. Some find it a decent metroidvania platformer with a cute dog protagonist, while others are frustrated by glitches that can softlock the game, such as a laser trap, and by poor PC settings like broken windowed mode. A few also mention shady behavior from the publisher.
