Steam review snapshots
The complexity of the game is relative, playing the gamepad will certainly be easier than on the keyboard.I have managed to get to about 80% of the main storyline I guess, I'm at the level right after the second…The controls are sluggish, there is no real turn control, running into walls in tiny halls the size of your ship and…2.Some of the animation when moving look a little laggy.Why it fits
Check it if you want action, adventure filtered by single-player.
