I love the game, but replaying it I realized just how God awful the controls are and had to drop an entire star from my score. It's an incredible game, but it's also borderline unplayable.
have you tried switching your controls to standard fps controls? i despised the game because I couldn't stand tapping x to run but switching it to that makes the game so much smoother.
I ended up improving at the controls as I continued my replay, but it took at good 20+ hours to get used to it. I recommend anyone struggling with combat look up a video about how to use dead eye correctly.
I love the game but Guarma and Chapter 5 is such a departure, being on that island feels like a completely different game. It's like I was just dropped into the middle of an Uncharted game or something. I wouldn't even mind the setting if Chapter 5 wasn't so linear and I could actually explore the island.
I agree about Chapter 5, but the Epilogue is my favourite part of the game, hands down. I love how slow it is and also how beautiful a homage it pays to Arthur despite barely ever mentioning him.
Despite making a clown out of John even in the epilogue, this game is still my most beloved one when it comes to it's script. The main story, side quests, arthur, sadie, hosea... god, I love this game so much.
Time for a new pc.
Story is 10/10 too, some of the best written characters in fiction history nevermind just videogames.
