Okay, so far, I'm having fun with the combat and platforming, camera and performance issues aside. Very great 3D platformer here.
...but there is one fatal issue I encountered: My game doesn't save anywhere past the beginning of the Dark Forest. I've made it to the second level of the second world, yet when I turned off the game and came back to it a few minutes later, I lost all of my progress beyond the Dark Forest area, therefore I have to rematch the first boss and re-do all of the Eternal Wells beyond the first one.
Is anybody else having this issue?
