Steam review snapshots
Another small critique is that a couple of the more interesting looking areas to explore are actually outside of the map, so…The flying mechanic takes some getting used to, as I'm used to playing with inverted controls — so cue lots of me…I've also tried playing with keyboard and mouse, which was a little smoother before I got the hang of it on controller.Why it fits
