Controls were a deal-breaker – To the Moon Review

I tried playing this twice on my iPad, including once on an international flight when I had very few options for entertainment. Both times I gave up because the controls are terrible. There are two options - touch a place on-screen to go there, or use your left thumb like a joystick. Maybe the joystick thing works better on a smaller screen, but it was just awful, and touch-to-walk was terrible too. Either way, the simple task of walking to an object to interact with it, or simply trying to exit a room via a small door, was full of frustrating moments. I don’t mind slow games or story games or minimalistic games or games with lots of dialog, but I have finally deleted this from both of my devices because I know I’ll never get past those awful controls.
