Constant frame drops, some of which are severe. Coupled with VR style gameplay, it made our tester physically nauseous a few times.

In platforming sections performance is bearable, and in puzzle sections, while problematic, it does not affect the ability to complete puzzles.

There are alot of visual bugs such as clipping through walls, white cracks in the background, glitched animations etc.
There are gameplay bugs, such as objects getting stuck behind things or the character being stuck behind a wall.

Option to return to hub doesnt work in menu, option to select levels at hub only works after level 9.
A lot of content missing such as achievements, level completions markers, collectibles in levels and more. Only thing you can do is play the levels and progress in story.

In Act 3 bugs and glitches become more prominent. In-game story cutscenes do not trigger properly. Near the end of Act 3, there is a cutscene which causes the game to crash.
The very next level after this crash (Level 44) is improperly designed, as there are not enough soldiers given to trigger a switch, making the level unbeatable.
When looking up a walkthrough, the patched version of this level is completely different, and amongst other fixes lowers the soldier count for the switch to the proper amount.

Could not skip Level 44, couldn't finish Act 3 , and could not finish main campaign.
