I can see why this game has a 69 on metacritic

The controls are just so awful. I haven't felt like I was fighting the controls this bad in a game since Kid Icarus Uprising. I'm trying on M&K and Controller and I hate both for different reasons.

Agree with this a lot. I started out on M&K and got so angry at the controls that I grabbed my controller after about 30 minutes of dealing with the ♥♥♥♥ camera. Controller is ok but it's not great. Really hope they work on the camera angle and controls in general.

A sub-70 score seems about right for this game. It's not truly putrid, but it's just not any good based on what I played of it.

Suggestion for the developers and what they could do next time: Make the guns more impactful, make the gore more visceral, let the civilians get domed in the crossfire, get rid of the "enemies filter into this arena section in waves" nonsense, and stop splashing the same repetitive graphic on my screen to remind me of the objective every 5 seconds.

Basically, the gameplay isn't good enough to justify the really weak presentation, and the really weak presentation can't mask the boring gameplay.

Agreed with pretty much everything you said. It's been a really big disappointment thus far.

I think I'm most surprised by just how underwhelming the combat feels. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think the lack of feedback (for both dishing out damage and taking it) is one of the major culprits. The clunky M&KB controls certainly don't help matters. Playing with a controller is slightly better, but even then I find that the button layout is awkward.

It's kind of weird for the first five minutes but I got used to it after the first few combat encounters. I don't see how it's such a big deal for others, though.

I have no problem with controls, seriously, you take 30 seconds to adapt.

The game is great and hard, could be is not the game for you, happen :)

It's a tool used to homogenise art.

I enjoy the game a lot but, some of these enemies are the cheapest I've ever seen.
Good game ≠ hard.

Is there really nothing to be done about these godawful controls? I really want to play through this but I can't stand these damn controls.

I have zero problems with the controls. Maybe its because I have played exanima which has a similar scheme but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ folks come on lol, they are fine

[Object]

the controls are just fine. and also, up on kb/m is up. This northeast thing people are saying is nonsense. Maybe your brain is being tricked because of the camera angle but it is in fact up. Press up, look at your character relative to the monitor. Its up. If you're saying otherwise you're lyng or have a poor ability to adjust. Jesus christ. Same ♥♥♥♥ with Demon's Souls back in the day. "Too hard, its the ♥♥♥♥ controls, its not me, i'm perfect." ♥♥♥♥ you.

Yeah, as far as I'm concerned I've found the controls to be as smooth as butter.
