Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
The game is a third person and does have elements of duck and cover at times, but it is done really well and doesn't deteriorate from the gameplay, as you enter new areas you will get autosave checkpoints and areas to stop resupply, use workstations and heal etc, the game also allows you pause and save the last checkpoint manually if you want and the controller support is fantastic, it works well with my Xbox and PS5 Dual sense controllers.
