Completed the base game 100%
Solved all puzzles, experienced all endings.
Road to Gehenna DLC is on cart, but not tested.

Game has some notable issues:
The game has a graphics mode and a performance mode. Graphics mode is turned on by default, and runs terribly. It makes the game unplayable due to terrible frame rates.

In the options there is a way to change to performance mode. This drastically improves the games performance. There is still frame rate drops but they are way less frequent, and overall less problematic. Graphics mode is sometimes fun to toggle on when looking at scenery.

Game has long load times, sometimes up to 30 seconds. They are however not frequent enough to become problematic.

The game is slightly different from other ports/versions of the game. The character moves slower then other versions, even when changing the movement speed to FAST. To remedy this the devs made the distance between areas shorter than other versions. It is however not a 1:1 transition, and overall it feels a bit slower then the other releases. It is very minor issue, you wouldn't be able to tell unless compared side by side, but its worth mentioning.

No crashes or other problematic bugs.
