Unusable game controller UX
The game is fine. Read other people's reviews for the actual game. I cannot play this game because the controller input experience is completely useless. (For reference, I use an Xbox One controller, which is meant to be standard on Windows.) First (and perhaps most restricting), you cannot make the game accept dpad input for direction control -- only the left analog stick. Beyond that, there's no indication at all of what buttons do which actions. I don't mind a little trial and error, but then when selecting items (e.g., the binoculars) you can't actually USE the items in the inventory AFAICT. If you're fine to use the keyboard, then this port is probably fine. But honestly there are easier ways to use a game controller to play this game, and the port has done absolutely nothing towards making this the best way to play.
Is this helpful to you?
