    I ended up using the wasd keys because mouse movement was so fucked. Basically use wasd for big movements and the mouse for small movements. But the game has bigger problems than the controls.

    I would advice against it. Also the gameplay is rather simplistic and the 'story' is short.

    Plenty of games out there better than this, Pozer. The tech behind From Dust is interesting, but the gameplay however is not. Some say it is wasted potential in that you're only given a few specific abilities and duties to perform throughout the course of the game. The campaign, if you can call it that, is too linear. You get the impression that this game is way more sand-boxy than it truly is.

    I just tried this game on PC and not long after I finished writing a ticket to Steam support requesting a refund. The mouse controls are horrendous, what the fuck did they do? How do you mess something up this bad?
     
    The fact they haven't fixed the controls when the game has been out for 4+ months is a joke. What a garbage developer, I'm not buying PC games by these guys again.
