    I played the demo for this a while ago before it came out and found some enjoyment in it. I think that the devs put work into it, even if it seems rough around the edges at times. That said. John moves like a dead fish being puppitered by silly string, I could just slightly understand not being able to change my keybinds, this game was made for controlers, but it's hard to play the game like this. I would recomend…
