-Graphics modes: Quality and Performance. Played most of the game in Quality mode, but also tested Performance mode in the final chapters, which seemed to maintain a solid 60 FPS throughout. Additionally features the option to turn FSR on or off.

-Pre-order bonus DLC included as a code in the box, but it only worked in the patched version.

• One or two minor animation glitches observed in some cutscenes.
• Encountered a single instance of an enemy getting stuck in the environment for a few seconds.
• Encountered a single instance of a flare clipping through some stairs.
• In the Water Pump level, toward the end of the level, there is a padlock puzzle that is absent from the patched version, perhaps existent only in alpha builds and then removed from the final released version. There is only one clue regarding the puzzle, but it does not offer precise indications regarding the solution, at least as far as we could tell. We had to find the correct combination by forcing all possible numbers. The correct combination is 423.
• In the Fire Station level, after turning the sprinkler system back on, it took two or more brick throws to break the window that leads to the room where you can turn the light back on. It must be noted that this step is entirely optional.

The patched version features a lot of changes, including in terms of UI, graphics, and difficulty, with “Normal” difficulty being significantly more challenging than the “Medium” difficulty on the disc version.

Overall, a very good disc build, with only minimal issues.
