Ex-console user that owns a dozen consoles but now plays mostly on a 5k PC with duel OLED screens but still sticks to controller on PC guy here.
Controller feels a little like an after thought in this game. There's no way to remap buttons which is a notable disadvantage mostly because Slide/Roll is stuck on B button and Inventory is stuck on Select. Which means you're always moving your finger away from the sticks for 2 of the most commonly pressed actions in the game. They should have been on Right Stick press and the DPad. They're not which means there's always going to be a delay compared to keyboard users. You can make up for it if you have a controller with mappable back buttons, but you shouldn't have to be forced into that work around. Navigating the inventory is also more clunkier compared to Mouse. Aim assist is decent enough. It's not CoD/Halo levels but it's a slower paced game so it can be manageable after some tweaking in the settings.
Embark doesn't have the greatest rep when it comes to controller. They gutted it in The Finals shortly after launch which crashed and burned the console population. Considering this kind of game needs to maintain a healthy player pop it's wait and see if they can improve some of the controller shortcomings.
