I'm just starting the game now, jeez what a lot of settings, yet no way to skip cinematics! The beginning is the typical don't care, let me play first before you talk my ears off. I was not in the mood for a movie but guess I'll just have to wait until their done 'setting the mood'. Naughty Dog handles the start of their games a lot better.

Oh, I think I'm allowed to press a button now.

Hmm, can't find an FoV slider or how to move the camera back. I loved that from Tlou pt1, this low FoV and Kratos filling up a big part of the screen is not a nice way to play. Damn this game is hard to get into.

These settings... Any clue how to detach movement from camera direction, like any normal 3rd person game? How do you look behind you while running in the other direction?

I haven't looked for a setting for that and I think the camera is so close by design. Once you get into the flow of combat, you learn to pay close attention to the yellow and red arrows indicating someone is about to hit you from behind.

That being said, I had to customize the controls a bit because I could not get used to using X to dodge which lead to a few deaths in the first challenging battle. I also switch Block and Throw buttons since my finger would automatically go to L2 to block.
