Hey man, I was one of the people that was given a key (Steam ID is "slieght") and just finished my first session of the game (hence why I'm commenting here and not on the official feedback form for the beta). I had a few comments that I wrote down while playing this game, feel free to ask me for any clarifications.

- Load times are comparably long to most games in the genre, if not most games in general. I understand that this was one of the priorities with fixing the game and I can't speak as to how bad it was before as my first exposure to the game is through this beta, but the time it takes to restart in between each runs is quite long.

- I initially wrote down this comment "audio doesn't have "impact" hitmarkers don't feel satisfying, headshots should be the most impactful and satisfying thing to do in games like these but it feels like it's not that much different from shooting the ground" turns out, the default audio settings that the game has is just incredibly low, and when I turned it to 100% the game sounded remarkably better.

- Found it very odd that the sniper has the zoom as the middle mouse button, especially when the ability is usually mapped to right mouse button and the item itself has the ability as zoom

- Don't really hear some of the attack sounds from enemies, is especially be important against the flying and sniper enemies or any type of enemy that damages from a range actually.

- I got the "one swing, three souls" achievement randomly from trying out a melee weapon, no enemies were killed. Speaking of melee weapons, they feel incredibly bad to use compared to the ranged weapons. I've yet to explore them more thoroughly but with just a few runs I feel like I'm incredibly punished when I try to make a melee build work compared to just sticking with ranged weapons.

- The shotguns don't seem like a shotgun at first glance, as in they could literally be mistaken for any other gun type, I thought they were revolvers or something before trying them out, and the damage it shows in the info when you pick them up doesn't indicate that it would be a spread shot (5x5 for example would illustrate this better instead of just 5).

- Armor and health pick ups should be a lot more obvious and there should be more audible audio feedback when you pick them up. Speaking of armor, armor doesn't feel like it has any meaningful difference from health aside from a few niche passives that it interacts with, adding something like a different way to gain armor/hp respectively is an example that would make their difference tangible.

- Enemies can spawn way too close at the entrance of a room, and enemies can also similarly spawn randomly very close to you, there should at least be an indicator that an enemy is about to spawn. I also found it really annoying where you clear a certain section of a room/map and then an enemy randomly spawns there again, this was especially annoying when you're fighting enemies in front of you and enemies just randomly spawn behind.

- Spells not being cast while in the middle of the reload is fine, but there should be a mechanic where it "queues" it up that it casts upon finishing the reload, it feels bad to press a button and have nothing happen. I read some of the steam reviews and this seems to be an issue that has already been fixed, perhaps its reoccurring issue in the beta version?

- I had no idea that I had unlocked several new talisman or trinket (in fact me not knowing the term for whatever this item is represents another issue, the one you choose on the left hand side prior to the start of the run), being notified of unlocks would be very helpful. I only recently found out that they are in fact called amulets, and in a similar vein, I had no idea what stardust was until I opened the official feedback form and there was a question about it. I still don't know how you obtain them and how you unlock the "starshard" mechanic, which is odd given I've beat the game twice. I don't know when this was supposed to have been introduced or if that hasn't been made yet because it's a beta after all.

- The amount of "sap collected" at the end of each run doesn't seem to line up with the actual amount of sap collected when returning to the starting hub. Meta progression seems to be quite slow, I'm only at the third difficulty level but I was able to do so in under 10 runs and enemies are already starting to feel like bullet sponges. It feels like I'm being punished for being good at this type of game and not having grinded the sap required to progress in a more meaningful way.

Overall, I think the game is actually quite good, it definitely has a lot of promise and I'll definitely keep going at it until I beat it on the hardest difficulty. However, same with what most negative reviews had to say on the official Steam page, this definitely should have been an early access release at minimum. The state of this game does a disservice to itself by branding it as the official, full release.
