Deleting my snarky post. Glad you guys are enjoying the game. But I stand my original post that this is a poor port to console of what appears to be a great PC game. This game is not designed or optimized for console. It's designed to be played with a keyboard and mouse. Even if the UI is fixable by fumbling through the settings, I should not have to do that. Especially with the controls being as clumsy as they are on console. I purchased 5 games for console in the last week. This is the only one that was frustrating to play because of UI and controls. It's just not a console game. That's all there is to it.

I tried this on PS4 on a 42" Plasma running at 1080p. Sitting at a reasonable distance from the television, as I do with all console games, the on screen text is completely unreadable and UI is the worst I've ever seen on a console game. There may be settings to improve this, but based what I've read on other threads on this forum, I doubt tweaking the settings helps much. Even if the UI was fixed, the controls are so bad that I will not be playing this game. The Playstation Network and Kerbal both have a clear "No Refunds" policy. So with my $40 donation for a game I'll never play again, I'll choose to think that I just bought the team coffee for a day. This game really looks fun. I hope you use that caffeine to do a nice port to iOS or something, that seems like it could work better than console, with some optimization for the platform. Players be warned, this is a very poor port of what is probably a very fun PC game. I would not recommend anyone play this on PS4 or Xbox One. If you have a PC, buy it now.

Just bought this game and was excited to try it. I only play console games, no PC. The controls on the PS4 are terrible. I closed the game after a few minutes of attempting to play it. I hope they improve this, but I don't know how they can. This seems like a game that should not have been ported to console. Or at least it should have been redesigned and optimized for console gameplay. The game looks like a lot of fun, and I've heard good things. I've no doubt that it's a joy to play on PC. But this just does not work well on console. If there is a way to get a refund I would like one please.
