Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
The cast delivers solid performances, the story is engaging, and the new gameplay elements—like climbing sections and an inventory system—add a layer of interactivity that helps the game stand out from earlier entries in the anthology.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
QTE Redesign (using Xbox Controller): To be clear, if the redesign for the QTEs from the classic color layout to the simplified white layout was to make the game easier for those with color blindness be able to play these games, then I applaud Suppermassive for even having the consideration.
