Known Issues in the Demo — and Where Players Disagree

This is a demo-era list. None of it’s confirmed to still be present in the 27 August release — the point of writing it down now is to have a baseline to check against on day one.

Where players actually disagree

One review calls the gamepad good. One discussion thread calls it jarring. That is the whole public record on the question.

Both are real, and both are single data points — which is worth saying plainly rather than dressing up as a trend. There isn’t enough public detail to say whether the split comes from different controllers, different deadzone expectations, or the missing invert option colouring the whole experience. If you bounce off the pad, at least one other player did too.

What is genuinely praised

The performance complaints sit next to a review saying the opposite: “wow, a game that actually performs well”. Five reviews praise the movement by name. The freeze reports are real reports — this wiki has not reproduced them — and so is the fact that 57 of 58 reviewers still gave it a thumbs up.

After 27 August

This table gets a Fixed / Still present column, filled in from the release build itself. Patch notes alone won’t settle it. If something here is quietly resolved, that’s worth recording too.
