I'd love to see even more monsters, *shifts*, and honestly... make normal difficulty a bit harder.

60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You can move, open and navigate most of the menu, do almost everything you need to do while in combat, interact with object in the world and use the dash ability all with the mouse, the last 2 require that you mouse has the fwd/back side buttons.

Also, this works perfectly on Steam Deck and it's the ideal game for that in my mind.
