there's one tutorial mission that gives you zero clue what you're supposed to do and kills you after about 5 seconds if you don't figure it out

(you have to jump to a different zone, but the game hasn't explained jumping yet, barely gives you time to look for the jump-off, and your attention is likely to be grabbed by the guy flying past you you're vaguely being told to Stop)
in the home base speed is reduced to the world's slowest walk
making getting to the one mandatory mission on the ground floor agonisingly slow
shooting is incredibly frustrating because the aim only sometimes snaps to enemy
generally it's pretty good at checkpoints but one of the beta missions if to fight through like 8 floors and it checkpoints you at the ground floor.
and the last room is nasty
there's a "hold the waypoint" mission that doesn't explain that you have to stay on the waypoint, it just says "near"
the skill trees are incredibly boring
I mean most of this is kinda subjective I'll give you that
but it's a lot of things that don't, for me, make a very good first impression
which is surely what you'd want for your brand new, no-one knows how to play yet game
also accessibility issue, the subtitles for scenes are incredibly tiny and right at the bottom of the screen
it is impossible to watch the cutscenes and also read the subs at the same time for me
ugh i hate when they make it impossible to run in the "overworld" type places
i get that it would be weird to be running everywhere but you set a pace for the game so walking feels really really weird
it's also just a lot of slow nothing
like yay, your base is really pretty?
but man I just wanna get to this mandatory thing and there's a lot of empty space between here and there
if you want me to look at all the work, let me actually move as at a pace that lets me get places
I gave up after the first mission. Playing Nat was fun but her aim is borked (for me it keeps snapping to the top of the screen - not helpful) and I can't get the game to stop freezing and stuttering
I'm cheating and on ps4

I enjoy jumping around as Hulk but find him too slow for fun in fights
Tony's flight mechanics do not do it for me
Nat's invis is cool but her spider bite does not seem to hit half the time
Ia ctually liked playing as Thor and Steve in the prologue but they are Not In the actual beta
I also feel like the mission maps are a little too big for fun, especially with mission control constantly jabbing me to go straight to the target
do you want me to look around, or not?
it is especially a weird contrast with how linear story missions can be
also also given the difficulties of aiming on PS4
especially with nat who takes about 10 shots to take one down, and you just cannot stay still that long for most fights without three goons running you down
and they add up to a fair chunk of health if you leave them
especially on hold the waypoint missions because you cannot leave the tiny waypoint circle
...playing as Kamala just makes me feel like my character is constantly glitched
I was hoping to play with controller because these sort of games always have awkward controls on PC but aiming is definitely a problem.
