Game seems to be "lazy" port for PC
Anyone else beside me thinks this game is a "lazy" port from PS to PC?

I mean, whereever I look there are leftovers from console version. For example controls are simplyfied - dodging, climbing and interactions are under one button and can't be separated like in GoW 2018. I could use space for climbing and dodging and E for interaction, now I can't even change that, which makes controls a bit strange comparing to original game. When I click "show controls" there is picture of a playstation pad with keyboard buttons marked on it. It looks awful. There are console-related icons and console terminology everywhere like "display pad/controller setting" which displays mouse/keyboard options.

The original game felt like genuine 100% PC-designed game, it was fantastic high quality PC port of a console game. And now GoW:R seems to be done by lazy team who didn't even care for details and mentioned earlier controls. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't affect gameplay that much, but my personal impression is much worse.

Well I mean the game was meant for console and was made for the controller in mind, I mean it plays exactly the same with my DS5, even the controller light changes color to my actions, I couldn't play this on kb+mouse setup, my carpal tunnel surgery recovery is brutal at the moment, but for me it's just like playing it on the ps5, idk

What I am 'subjecting myself to' is a bunch of nonsensical trolling discussions on Steam forums.

Thankfully, unlike a lazy console port and subjective ignorant advices, that's something easy to fix. ⚔

This is Sony for you. I normally pirate their games because of all corporations Im especially tired of Sony.

exactly, performance has also suffered. 2x higher system requirements for a game released on the same console?
i heard it's the same company that made the port but it's 100% not the same employees, game feels like it was ported by interns

I've found a way to toggle between jogging and walking using a software called reWASD, which uses your keyboard as a PS controller.
You can chose which buttons to emulate and the position of the joystick.
For me "w"=joystick all up
"ctrl" + "w" =joystick slightly up which triggers slow walking.
Can you please send me your reWASD config file for the game?
