• Combat can get very messy and clumsy.
• Combat takes a bit of getting used to.
• Sometimes it’s hard to see who is an enemy.
• The items that drop out of enemies and objects roll and bounce far away fast.
• In the inventory menus, the primary and secondary weapons are all mixed up.
• The menu structure doesn’t lend itself well to the fast swapping of weapons.
• The tutorial is far too basic and misses out on some key information.
