Completed main campaign, and some of the bonus puzzles. Only skipped one story puzzle, that being an absolutely broken one. Some were completed with a walkthrough, due to reasons described below.

Encountered two broken puzzles. One was impossible to complete and had to be skipped. The other could be completed with a guide, but was bugged and had to be reset multiple times.

Multiple puzzles have spelling and grammar errors, which can affect the players ability to solve the puzzle. One complicated puzzle asks the player to arrange words including "LEAMON". In the actual puzzle the player has to use the word "LEMON" instead.

Halfway through the game, puzzle questions become poorly articulated, and sometimes make no sense, making it hard to solve without a guide. A few puzzles are missing the majority of the question also making it hard to solve.

That said there is a skip option for broken puzzles, so a large portion of the broken puzzles can be avoided.

Cannot say if patch fixes any of the issues.

Could not find option to start a new game.

There are some QoL features in this release such as improved movement options, and expedited "puzzle solved" animations. No accessibility options/settings besides volume on/off.
