    I really hope PS5 gives a demo of this. I wanna give it a try, but not sure how I’ll like the gameplay with turn based stuff, and not sure how much I’ll like the view. I’m not a fan of aerial views, but if I can zoom it in and out, like WoW, I might like it.

      When you play with a controller, the UI is completely different. Menus are simpler; you control your character movement with the left stick, camera rotation and zoom (from third person, perspective and tactical view) with the right stick; you don’t have a hotbar with your skills, instead you access everything with the shoulder buttons that open a radial menu; you can use the dpad to change what your target is (enemies, items, world clutter).

      In general, you can play the game without any problems with a controller.

        Oh I would probably use a KBM if it’s available on PS5, but I like that camera control sounds similar to WoW.

        Still hoping for a demo, so I can tell if I’ll like the turn based play. I’m really stingy when it comes to buying games, more so after the CP77 debacle. I know it’s not the Devs, but still, it’s left a bad taste in my mouth with how games are handled from the top.
