I first want to front load with what I like about this game: the look of it. It's absolutely beautiful. The optimization is great because I can max every graphics setting out on my GTX 980 and still get a consistent 60 FPS.
Now for the bad part.
The gameplay is extremely clunky, even for the most nimble character in the game. I feel like I'm trying to move a drunken sumo wrestler when I play as the Samurai, and the Knights and Viking are even slower. There were multiple times that I repeatedly pressed A (X-box controller) to get out of a hairy situation, but my character did nothing, causing me to get killed. Maybe I'm just bad at this, but even against AI, this game's mechanics are extremely unforgiving. Dark Souls has nothing on this.
I can't dodge worth a crap nor does the guard fight position allow me to block anything, haven't tried with a controller but mouse and keyboard can be very clunky,
the concept is great and the fighting is great but two enemies can pin me against a wall hitting me repeatedly, while all my guy will do is get staggered not allowing me to block/ roll/ dodge/ parry etc.

To add to your controlls complain: I play on ps4 and same story. People on PC complain as well. It seems, that no platform this game exists on has civilized controlls.
Question regarding controllers: Do you also experience the issue of your character dodging in the "wrong" direction? Like..you hold the stick the the left and he dodges forward.
