a nice thing I will say is that I like how the different heights for the sticks give you more or less tension
the standard analog size is tight the larger flat one is comparable to a dualsense, and the arcade stick style is very light

another pain point is that they have all these different shaped buttons and labels, but there's few enough of the ones I like that I can't use em
I would really like two of the double button ones, or more of the long paddle style ones
and there's not a full set of blank labels for the holes

ok ACTUALLY the spider level is really cool. they also intentionally make them less detailed, with the main spider being in shadow and the little ones looking more like viruses and having less pronounced spider movement
comparisons for those curious

With huge growing pains and limitations, it proves more of a mixed success in this highly competitive space:

it's a first person shooter that combines the atmosphere of Marathon, considered gunplay, terrifying sound and architecture, and a touch of guro to amp up the horror
