Granted, as the game progresses and sources of Salts become much more abundant there is much less need to ransack every accessible building for bottles of soda to quaff down like you’re some crazed, rampant taste-tester. In the earlier chapters though, I can almost guarantee that if one of the enemy NPCs had just tossed a Mentos in my general direction it would have certainly been an insta-kill.

Admittedly progressing in the game is proving a little difficult for me, not because I suck at it (as one might justifiably assume) but because every time I try to load my checkpoint at Finkton Docks, I’m faced with a slightly unusual glitch:

Every.

Single.

Time.
