Waifu Impact 2 Review Cons:

The camera controls are terrible, the inverting axis is either broken or swapped the sticks around, or at one point I had both sticks a tins as the camera control and no way to move.
You cannot remap the controls.
The game hangs after unpausing the game.
No enemy animations.
Bland music.
There is no feedback on shooting or being shot.
It’s very basic.
The mini-map doesn’t show crystals.
It’s a lot of just wandering around.
Any enemy other than the slimes is a nightmare as they hit always and damage loads.
You cannot hip fore and instead always have to aim down sights.
No actual tutorial.
You cannot even see the controls.
The camera is erratic and loose.
