Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
I was able to rebind both functions to the triggers using Steam Big Picture, it appears that the software has come a long way from merely operating the steam controller, thanks to this game, I was able to find that out.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The sound effects are good enough for the type of game that it is, there is a beeping sound when you are being targeted prior to being shot at, giving you ample time to barrel roll.
