What a difference using a preferred control scheme makes with this game. I started playing on Xbox Game Pass with a controller and just could not get into it. I was apprehensive going into most encounters because I did not feel like I had full control of movement with a controller. After a few missions I set it aside.

I only picked it up again after I made some upgrades to my PC, and what a difference it made. I was able to do what I wanted to do with the controls, and it made every encounter much more fun. The combat is a joy to master with enemy waves becoming overwhelming, only to have you carve your way out.

The story worked, if only to string you along each mission, and the little bits of lore dropped in made the character bios actually interesting to read for once.
