From 3 comments
This is great! Really polished and fun to run around the map. Do you have an announce list for the official release?

Consent banner and unclear onboarding
From 2 comments
Couldn't get past the consent banner. I am not going to click on a thousand "legitimate interest" toggles just to watch a trailer (and most certainly not going to "accept all"…
