Works very smoothly

I've played just over 8 hours with absolutely no hiccups. To my surprise, my nintendo switch pro controller (via USB) worked out of the box, too! No tinkering, drivers, nothing -- works like a dream

Audio:Missing, Other

The audio for my whole PC cuts out frequently during play, but I think that might just be due to my setup being awfully configured. Game otherwise runs as if it were native
