Also coming from dsr the movement felt very soapy if it makes sense.

You’re feeling the angle snapping. The game tries to wrestle control of your left stick away from you to try to get you to walk at one of 8 specific angles relative to your camera.

It’s the sole reason I haven’t bothered to grit my teeth through the rest of the game’s atrocities.

Edit: somehow I misread “soapy” as “sloppy” lol
