Fully expected to hate the control scheme, but it clicked the moment I started the forced tutorial upon bootup. Motion controls work shockingly well and I haven't had much issue looking down at the gamepad for those rare moments I need to fine tune a shot.
Been getting silver medals on every stage my first attempt so far, and even came 4 hits away from gold on my most recent stage. Literally 1.5 hours of play so far.
I do find the forced perspective sequences the most problematic though, usually against certain bosses as I would probably be doing much better if those sequences just functioned as standard 'all range' moments. Still, I guess the idea was to keep the danger threat always on screen to avoid constant off-screen hit madness(such as giant laser targeting always in view). Still, just not liking those(or at least toggle that perspective with the lock-on button).
Also wish there was greater customization with the controls. Would have liked a trigger toggle for screen swap instead of the (-) button, as it would be more comfortable just swapping the image with a quick modifier than looking down(and minus is uncomfortable to reach). Plus I would love to alter the R-stick and face button mapping around. Still, I am digging this far more than I ever expected. FAR more.
