Key layout assumptions, bad tutorial
Keyboard options are Qwerty, Qwertz or Azerty. If you're on anything else, the game is going to use scancodes and prompt you to press keys based on what they'd be labelled on a keyboard that it knows about. The tutorial decides to teach lots of the keys in a single session, and moves on to the next topic as soon as you perform current topic once. Sometimes the tutorial disables the move that the previous topic was teaching - so perform it once, and then it gets disabled immediately, without the opportunity to practise it before the next topic gives a new key to learn. Counter-attacks are done by blocking and then attacking at the right time. I got stuck for a long time trying to block at the right time but rarely seeing the icon saying that a counter-attack was possible, only to find that there's no limit on the time spent blocking - if you're just stood waiting in the block pose then the enemy will attack in a way that makes them vulnerable. It did come together - when the tutorial was telling me to press C to open the character screen and assign talent points, pressing C actually opened the inventory, showing me that I had a mutagen item. After entering the correct screen, I assigned the talent point and returned to the tutorial, which was still telling me to press C and assign talent points (no mention of mutagens in the German text). So I pressed C again, and noticed that I still had a mutagen, and then poked everything in the character screen until I found a way to use that mutagen. There's a review below from someone who got stuck there, by this broken message. As the game has a lot of high-ratings, I might try it again with a controller instead of mouse+keyboard. However, based just on the tutorial and then re-reading other reviews with the hindsight of that, there's much better games to play instead of learning the controls and UI design of this one.
