I played this game back in 2007-2009, then it left a lot of positive impressions, both with its plot and interesting gameplay, and the controls, which everyone criticizes, for me became, let’s say, a “feature” of the game, which you get used to and play as if It cannot be otherwise.
I was offended when I decided, relatively recently, to replay this masterpiece (only the HD version) on my laptop, without a mouse, and the controls were changed to a mouse (I actually had to buy a mouse). When aiming with a mouse, you can feel the old echoes of the keys in the movement, but this, in principle, does not interfere with the game.
