Key points
- Very few video customization settings.
- Uses Xbox controller prompts for keyboard and mouse.
- Aim Acceleration cannot be disabled when using a controller.
- In-game mouse movement depends on the framerate and is very jerky even at 60 FPS. It gets smooth when the game runs at around 100 FPS or higher.[1]
