Hard to recommend, but also hard not to.

I will preface this by saying I've only just made it to Anca, one of the first NPCs that you can interact with, but had a difficult time getting to her. While what little I've experienced of the combat and story seems excellent, the game is not without it's share of issues, and performance being a big one. With an RTX 3070, I can't even get a stable 60 fps on Low settings at 1440p and even 1080p still feels like it's hitching. Keep in mind this is all in the first (and presumably smallest) town. Nothing compared to the scale of what's been shown in gameplay and trailers. If I'm already experiencing this level of performance in a small village, I can only imagine how it will be after the prologue. **Additionally, controller support is all over the place. First off, the Dualsense Edge is not supported at all and is not playable with it. My only other controller is a Steam Controller 2. The game randomly switches to M+K input, making both combat and menus feel unresponsive at times. Every single time I open a menu, I have to fight the input change as it tries to register a mouse cursor in a different location than where I've been navigating. I'm not sure if this is a result of having to run the application through Steam to be able to use my Steam Controller, but some reviews on Steam also seem to mention similar controller input issues. As much as I want to tell people to buy this game, these two rather signifcant issues make it hard to recommend at this price point at this point in time. Review written on game version 1.01 **Hotfix 1.03 has included Dualsense support, but the input switching seems to continue after alt-tabbing.
