Huh? They're fine and have a good feel; I 100%ed it using a controller fairly easily.

I may give it another go, but I tried it for around 30 minutes and I felt like I was fighting against the controls.

It's an excellent game I wasn't aware of until a month or so ago. You're not playing with a gamepad I hope? It kinda needs mouse/keyboard. Skill in the game probably matters more than leveling up stuff in the skill tree (I like that it's a literal tree :) ), so practicing at getting better will get you further than grinding stats. I beat the game and then spent a decent amount of time in the post-game, still occasionally finding a new room/scroll/weapon that I hadn't seen before. Eventually I got about as far as I probably can; at that point my health stat was around 27 or 28 (out of 75). I'd suggest prioritizing points in attack over health/defense..."a good offense is a good defense" is a cliche that applies quite well here. Also get the extra jump.

I'd recommend trying again; I thought they nailed the feel of slithering around as a tentacle-y mass and tossing puny humans around like rag dolls. :) I think you just need to be moderately familiar with twin-stick style controls. I thought it could have been a little harder, but definitely worth playing. Anyway thanks for bringing this up since I see they have some DLC (but included in the game) added last year that I didn't know existed.

About Immortal Redneck:

I concur; it's an excellent game. I'm not playing with a gamepad, but with a mouse/keyboard. Stil I find it too difficult. Oh well, I hate grinding so much and in this game grinding gives me nothing.

Thanks for the stats suggestion. If I ever end up with enough gold to spend, I'll take your advice.

Final Fantasy X-2

After going back to true turn based combat in FF X, I assumed that X-2 would be more of the same. But no, they went back to the ATB system that I disliked so much from earlier games. I don't why they didn't just stay with the combat from X which was the best in any Final Fantasy I've played. Turn based FF is good, real time FF like XII and XV is good too, but ATB is pointless- it lacks the strategy of real turn based, but is still slower than true real time combat. I'm guessing I probably won't like FF XIII either.

Realms of the Haunting

I did something, not knowing what, why and where beat first 7 chapters, but it did not improve in time. Some levels are so unbelievable dark, that I had to increase gamma so much, that it broke colours.

Killer is dead
At third level, it didn't catch me as killer 7 or No more heroes, guess when the protagonist doesn't have corny, edgy or inmature lines i can't stand the weird settlement.
