Keyboard/mouse controls are good, basically your standard PC controls. The developers are from Poland, not Japan, so PC is their bread and butter.
For me personally over the shoulder shooters are impossible to play on a controller to begin with, but to each their own.

I prefer KB/M but I don't use any aim assist. Also a game pad gives you no advantage in a close quarter fight? A dodge button is a dodge button.

Real Yakuza use a gamepad.

You can play with K+M, but there's a noticeable increase in input lag compared to other games.

It works, but I don't recommend it.

But the mainly reason is not that, I think controllers are a must have to games like this. Normally I prefer K+M, it's faster, more reliable and you can aim better. Love it.

But this game isn't about rushing or precision. It's about slowly progressing and being immersed in the atmosphere, the tension, the visual and sound effects. K+M, at least with me, make me naturally rush in some way.

And this game works REALLY well with controllers. You can adjust the aim assist the way you want and sensibility is absolutely perfect if you have a nice controller. Really smooth experience.

Some games offer a terrible experience with controllers, but this is definitely not one of them. It's excellent, on par with Resident Evil or even better.

In summary, you can play with keyboard and mouse, it works OK even though there's noticeable input lag. However, the experience with a controller fits this type of game much better, IMHO.

Nothings better than K+B. U can´t play this game with a controller

I played with keyboard/mouse even though the game strongly recommended otherwise twice and it worked absolutely fine. Any game where you shoot guns, i use a mouse. I did have an issue with the game not going fullscreen properly and I have to alt+enter on the menu otherwise my cursor isn't properly aligned. I think 1.04 fixed this though.

The only time I had any input lag was when I was rendering the game at 200%, or maybe if you're using an upscaler. I had no noticeable input lag.

I usually play these type games with a controller, but not this one. KB+M is just better. All the looking around and aiming with a controller is just clumsy. That said, there are a few hard coded buttons (WASD, I use R-Mouse, SDF), in menus and inventory that are annoying and require an awkward "switch" on the fly of finger placement.
