Didn’t experience any bugs or glitchs when playing Forbidden West, However my PlayStation did overheat. The lightbar turned solid red. Ended up taking the cover off the PlayStation with a Torx 8 screwdriver and cleaning the interior like the fan and thermal paste. As soon as i got the platinum trophy i immediately stopped playing Forbidden West.
