While the game isn't hard in itself it does have a lot of buttons and mechanics So it was a little daunting to cram everything in but it was possible and fluid
As a beginner you may not understand this but here is my profile
The main modes are menu Gameplay and lock on(combat)
Anything with arrows is what I like to call sub/pressure modes
The main gimmick I abuse less than and mode switching to be able use D pads as long as I'm holding onto said button and when I release it takes me back to whatever mode I was currently on
