Instant death QTE's at every turn, the clunkiest gunplay I've ever had and a completely over the top storyline.

I got to the level where you are unable to climb over a 5 foot gate in the cemetery for no apparent reason, so you have to chase a dog who decided to eat the key. Trying to combat these dogs with this horribly clunky mechanics was possibly the most frustrating gaming experience of my life. I tried K+M, Controller, adjusted every setting, but everything just felt wrong, and targetting anything that isn't standing still is basically impossible.

Maybe it's worth playing on easy for the story, but it's just a mess and I'm genuinely surprised at the positive ratings.

Thats the wierd part about this game! It feels off at first, but over time you can make this game into a John Wick simulator. It just takes some time to get use to the 3 button controls to pull off some of the dodge moves, and the reflexes to actually make a good dodge. Your best bet is to actually throw away the short cut dodges and just get use to the 3 button dodge moves so you got a more focused perspective on the controles. also it just clears up some of the keyboard mess.
3 button dodge move is
AIM + DIRECTION + ACTION = DODGE
Also try my control idea for a while.
Everything the same but
*Z is use health
*C is Coop Action
*E is pick up/reload
*R is inventory
*P is Pause
*Throw away any short cut dodges to the right side of your keyboard and dont use them
*X is Make Health
*Use scroll wheel for weapons not G, and use F to look through hand held items
* 1, 2, 3, 4 are your coop partner short cuts like follow me, wait, ect
Your key board use and economy should be better now

This may help. https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=454704048

You can really pull off some crazy stuff once you figure everything out. You can also enable "Auto-Action" in the options to have the game automatically not fail any missed cinematic QTEs, which may help.

Thoughb the learning curve can be off-putting for some. Game is pretty hit-or-miss with some.
