Hey, just like the title is asking, I'm looking to find out if either platform has any benefit over another. I see that Steam lists controller support and was wondering if there is controller support here. Are there any other differences in them, like performances, updates etc?

Not sure if there are any gameplay differences but it does support controllers - I'm using an Xbox 360 one (being the most similar to the console version's controller). Works fine, picked it up as the default controller once I started using it to navigate menus.
