Re: Game Softlocks at Zen Garden — No Way to Continue (v1.5.0)

Game: Plants vs. Zombies Replanted
Platform: PlayStation 5
Version: Latest (PS5, released after July 2025)

Issue:
After obtaining the Watering Can during the Roof stages, the game forces me into the Zen Garden tutorial. However, once inside the Zen Garden, the X button becomes completely unresponsive.

I cannot select any options or proceed with the tutorial, which causes a full progression block. The game does not crash, but I am unable to continue the campaign.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Progress to the Roof levels
2. Obtain the Watering Can
3. Enter Zen Garden when prompted
4. Try to interact using the X button

Expected result:
X button should allow interaction in the Zen Garden tutorial.

Actual result:
X button does not respond at all. Player is stuck and cannot progress further.

Additional notes:
- Controller works normally in all other menus
- Restarting the game and console does not resolve the issue
- Progression is completely blocked
