Regarding #3 and #4, well, I don't really know what to say. I got my own issue with the thirst bar though. The way the food is tailored, benefits the food bar greatly while only offering very little in regards of thirst. You got a dozen ways to fill your food bar in large chunks with most recipes giving you +50 Food or even more. In the thirst department, you only got some 'advanced' liquids, which are also an important ingredient for your field work! I think the way you refill your thrist and the way you refill your hunger are kinda imbalanced and thirst definitely could use some more love.
< Just speaking broadly and not about any one person btw >
#5 is the only one with a chance of some validity whatsoever, but because of how it's worded, it loses most of it because of the misdirected thrust of it. It says that it's a poor console port, and then gives as evidence... that mouse support wasn't well done (which is a fair criticism in and of itself), and that there are unchangeable keybinds (again, a fair criticism in and of itself). However, that's not evidence of a poor console port, that's just evidence of mediocre mouse implementation, and while having keybinds be fully interchangable to the user's preference is best, having keybinds that you can't change doesn't make it a poor port; that's just entitlement, and feels tacked-on just to hate on the game more. The game runs just fine (aside from that one die-and-continue-mid-quest-that-has-an-activated-interactable bug, which you can get around by just selecting no and loading your autosave instead of using the continue function... Or just getting good and not dying, since you can chug healing items from menu... >w>). Now, you want a poor console port? Go take a look at Horizon: Zero Dawn, where the game is barely playable for people even with the best tech out there, and even when they can get it to play, it's buggy AF and glitches out a lot. Even after patching it a lot, it's barely playable still.
#3 and 4; Rotten rat corpses and rats themselves are everywhere, and getting the extra meat perks, which are incredibly cheap and easy to get early on, gets you much more per corpse. You can just lock on to the rats, run at them, then use a roll-attack to quick-slash them, for fresh meat, too. Even if you never touch fresh meat, you can get more than enough rotten rat meat from around the world (since they have dedicated spawn locations) without ever buying any. Similarly, Sludge abounds, and the Sludge Pickup+ perks are also really early available, same with the ones that reduce your consumption rates of your food and water bars (and the sludge cans can be crafted pretty easily, too; you only need a few to guarentee a constant positive flow). This isn't even touching on Zivblood, which basically is a half-effective sludge that doesn't damage you and boosts Z-power, so you can use it while out and about to charge it and use Z-powers to smash zombies for no energy cost, too. Additionally, so long as you actually read the tutorial prompts (who'd have thought that expecting people to bother to read would be their downfall?), eating and drinking before bed means you get a major boost to your maximum stamina and HP until your next sleep, so you don't need to consume as many HP or energy-regaining items to keep doing things in a single day (or just go to bed earlier, instead of pushing yourself needlessly...). As you get further in, tomatoes give water, and pumpkins give food and energy, all for a little water (recommend sludge or zivblood, due to ease of availability, especially the latter when you go out at night; far better to keep agua cola for emergency drinking water or, when you have a stockpile of seeds and water, to get different plants up to the same grow period/speed up growth to plant more stuff in the same period of time). While I can't see the actual items to confirm their values, there's definitely other veggies and meals that provide other benefits and/or much higher return, too, later on. Even then, like, 12 cooked rotten rats is enough to fill your food, and half that in agua cola, or the same amount of sludges, or twice as many zivbloods for water.
This is fair, the game is designed to be played using a controller.
Yes, that's clear. That's where the "bad port" issue comes in. If I wanted to play with a controller, I'd get a console. It's just a shame because I really wanted to like this game.
