Solid mine + upgrade + defend loop. I found myself switching between controller and mouse (for precision) during my first 8h. I believe swapping controls was the cause for my only gameplay crash. Upgrades feel nice and a there's a few different equipment options to explore.

My only real negative is the lack of a "save & quit". Progression results in better survival and longer runs, which can easily exceed an hour. The mid-game start can be a drag.

Base game achievements required 3 post-boss runs to finalize all blueprints/upgrades and all weapons.
