Seems like I installed before you.
Here is an initial impression on the first (tutorial) mission.
Can't say too much about the grunts combat, as so far, too easy to know if it is engaging or not.
The boss killed several times, here is why:
The target lock thing, seems to help with shooting at it, but your screen doesn't lock on the target, so actually playing on a gamepad felt god awful, super disorientating, so I eventually switched to keyboard and mouse.
First, binding is in the key bindings option in the input device settings menu, which was a bit confusing as the control settings are only for the controller. Then I realized the controls are not separated on primary and secondary buttons, but keyboard and mouse buttons, so you can't have two different keyboard buttons on the same action. A bit of a bitch, most of my additional mouse buttons work as keyboard buttons. Though, I guess it is something I will get used to.
Only after dying once I realized actually the primary way to deal damage on this flying boss is the pulse blade. The guy on the radio didn't mention anything, but whatever.
The boss area is locked, you can't go outside of it, even though it is just a small spot on the big area you just flew through. Here is the kicker, though, the boss can exit the area and then you can't blade it. It is easy enough to avoid if you stay in half of the boss area, then he just won't go there. It is not really a gamplay thing where he hides out of your imaginary range, just something they didn't think-through on the first fucking boss. If you just stay in the other half of the boss area you are almost guaranteed the boss will exit.
Took me a few tries, tweaking my binds and getting used to them, but once I did I took the boss super easy.
tl;dr gamepad is garbage, mouse and keyboard so much easier, but even they are not as customizable as they should.
So far not super excited by the game.
