ThreadMy opinion after 6 hours on standard ps5
Controls - absolutely horrendous controls, whoever designed them needs to be forced to play this games tutorials for each skill/move, have their memory wiped and forced to do it again.Our reading
Negative

Positive

ThreadIm not gonna lie, I have no clue how yall are having so much trouble with the controls. This may be a get good moment.
