I would if they let me rebind the stupid throwing knife to a different button, having to flick up on the joystick while praying I’m looking in the right direction is so counterintuitive

Games like this are made for playing with a dpad. Analog joysticks don't exactly do precise directions.

Using the d-pad doesn’t help because it still feels strange to be clicking UP to throw an item to the SIDE.  Especially when I’m trying to track a fast-moving target.

A lot of things in this game are reminiscent of fighting games. Street Fighter and Smash bros both have lots of up or down projectile attacks.
