With this update, Playtonic has added a new, optional camera mode that gives players complete control over its positioning. We thought the original camera system was 'uncooperative' and was one aspect of the game we took issue with in our review, so this new option comes as a welcome addition.
Along with the new camera system, the update also gives players the ability to skip cutscenes, adds new music to the pause menu, introduces an option for shorter 'gibberish' voice effects, and allows players to read through dialogue more quickly. You can find the full patch notes on Playtonic's website, but other notable changes from the update include:
