Elden Ring controls are the pits

I have an ultra-wide screen which the developers have chosen not to support. I have seen the jittering graphics, and it was not that bad for me.

The real shock was the control setup. If you’re going to play Keyboard+Mouse then this game is going to give you quite a bit of grief – you need to find a web site with all of the keyboard commands because they do NOT all appear in the configuration. If you’re not used to the XBox style controller then there is a learning curve that will likely put you off initially. Clearly this game entertains a certain spectrum of players. To me it felt like it forced encounters into as tight a space as possible to ensure it held the attention of players who need that. Very hack-slash. Give it 100 minutes, and you will know if you want to continue or get the full refund.

I got my refund, and will leave the game to the console goblins, who seem to absolutely love the game.
