Isn’t it though? We have a side topic on this: [Has anyone here played the new PC game "Clair Obscur"?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/has-anyone-here-played-the-new-pc-game-clair-obscur/1017564)

It won a shit ton of awards this year (more than Baldur’s Gate 3!), well-deserved IMHO. Probably the best first act in a video game, ever.

Then once it really got “started”, it became super hard. I died most fights, even on Easy =/ Had to stop playing because of the parrying system. (Thankfully, there are cheats!)

What? That’s just stupid… what an oversight on their part. Usually games just let you switch which controller art you want to use…

In this case, it looks like using a PS5 controller will work and show you the correct buttons, but not PS4: [Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 :: Steam Community](https://steamcommunity.com/app/1903340/discussions/0/592895271730484894/)
