Works great with full controller support! Didn't adjust any of the graphics settings except for changing the resolution to 4K.
P.S. Keep the rendering resolution at 1080p, if you go above that, you'll see stutters and lots of frame drops.

Review Note:

Great game. Remedy know their stuff. There's aspects of this game that remind me of Returnal. Slick and satisfying gameplay.

Running at native 1080p, max textures and detail, medium everything else. Looks great, runs like butter minimum 60fps at an average of 70fps. Promotion is implemented correctly and acts like VRR, so no tearing and consistent frame pacing.
