Partial Controller Support and length?

[Fjolde]

Been reading the reviews and i'm liking what I'm reading, even though I know it's still REALLY early in the games outness.

What does "partial controller support mean"? Like, I can't rebind buttons or it just doesn't work well? Or maybe sometihng else.

The other question I have, does it seem like the game will go on for a while? I mean, stuff to do. Does the main story seem like it will be long? Is there stuff to do outside of the story that is worth doing?

Super interested in this game but I've been fooled before.

I just bought this and literally came here to ask these 2 questions!!!

I have an Xbox One wired controller but I'm always scared of what "Partial Controller Support" means. If menus don't work right which is what I'm assuming, I'll have to use M/K which is a bummer.
I can't find how long the game is either from the reviews I read. With it being compared to Breath of the Wild I'm really wondering if it's a really long game like that, or something more compact.

Any help appreciated =)
Regardless, I'm excited to play once it's installed. Amazing that I've never even heard of the game until I saw it in New section today. How is that possible lol?

You should be able to do everything in the game with a controller! Here at the office half of us use a controller and the other KB/M.

Most of the controls are rebindable, only certain menu options are currently unable to be rebound but we will probably revisit that (but there is always a controller button mapped to every action).

The main story can take roughly 15-20h based on what we've been hearing. After you finish the main story we put you back on the island where you're free to continue messing with the island simulation and collect any collectibles you've missed.

Yeah that's another one of my concerns, I look up new games all the time when I'm bored but I don't recall seeing this one. Then when looking it up online, you'll find a lot about some new gaming platform for PC run by the publisher, which makes me a little concerned for the actual value of the game as a game, instead of an attempt to draw customers to its new platform.

Thanks for the reply.
