This new update is superb, and well worth the wait. I can play comfortably with my gamepad, the lighting and texture work is massively improved, and I can finally read the text crawls after boss levels. All in all, fantastic work.
I *do* have a few minor niggles, but not enough that I need to wait for another patch, and after hearing that more updates are on the way I'm certain these can be ironed out.
1) Gamepad support is still a little sketchy in menus. It's hard, if not impossible, to tell which buttons you've highlighted on the weapon and upgrade screens, and I accidentally upgraded my axe with that rubbish mana perk as a result. Occasionally, the gamepad will stop working on these screens altogether, forcing me to use a mouse. I switch to the mouse when navigating these screens now, which is a minor hassle, but nothing too big.
2) When playing on Gamepad, the mouse always returns to the centre of the screen in menus. It can be confusing when the mouse highlights one option but the gamepad is selecting another.
3) My autorun settings revert to 'walk' and need changing at the beginning of every level. One click of a button and this is fixed, so it's incredibly minor. But still.
4) Am I right in thinking that as a result of the extra brightness, the 'light' spell has been removed entirely? It doesnt appear on my spell screen. The original game really was far too dark, and the amount of time spent clicking the right button for light was daft, but I'm not against some dark levels that play with some Doom 3 style light-juggling. Regardless, this new lighting system is much better and a compromise I'm willing to make.
All in all, I think I speak for all of us when I say how grateful I am that this game is getting continued support. Please do keep it up :)
