    I'll recommend the game regardless, but know this : the comments are right about the controls being crap. Now, don't get me wrong : this game is amazing as is, but the commands are badly written or something like that, because it's just... not the same as you'd get this experience on a 3DS or a Ninendo Switch. So, obviously, the controls aren't inherently flawed or unstable. I don't know what went wrong or if there…

    If you're wondering, "why is it that the reviews are mostly negative?" TLDR: The controls aren't responsive. Even after trying the disable steam controls fix. I pre-ordered and was massively disappointed. Edit: To those that are saying use the fix where you disable steam controls, Yeah I did that before posting this. Again, I said the controls aren't responsive... Xbox controller user here... press kick punch jump…
