Relic Hunters Legend Preview Cons:

The menus use the right stick and a mouse cursor.
So much early access information on the screen at all times.
Cannot skip the credits intro.
One of the early levels – follow the Stranger is such a boring level that outstays its welcome.
The initial load can sometimes be really long.
The view can make seeing ledges and stairs harder.
Combat can take some getting used to especially when you start getting multiples.
The opening tutorial sections are needed but they do feel dragged out.
No way to know what you have to do in order to unlock new hunters.
