- Constant flickering from the reflections of lighting sources on objects when moving.

- One part of the hub area is missing several wall textures and the entire asset for one of the main interactable objects. Only the icon is hovering in mid air.

- Targeting doesn't work properly a lot of times. Sometimes the character doesn't target at all. Sometimes the target is automatically switched to other objects/enemies for no apparent reason.

- Couldn't fast-switch between spells via R1/L1. Instead a constant tool tip was stuck on screen that we should use R2 to switch spells, which isn't the correct button to do so and had no effect.

- Game-breaking bug: During the third area a certain type of special room always glitches upon entering. Instead of loading the room, you instantly fall through the floor and the screen shows a neon-green square instead of the room with neon-pink flickering spots that resemble the structure of the overview map. If you try to move, you will eventually fall deeper and take drop damage. You can't interact with anything nor can you leave the room. All left to do is abort the run. The room can appear in several directions and we encountered the room with the bug in 75 % of our runs.
