Broken Reality Review (Birby1070)

I was about to buy Hypnospace Outlaw when I noticed there was a bundle that included this game. Taking a quick peek at the store page, I was interested and decided to buy the bundle. Hypnospace was great. I put 8 hours into it and then decided to try this game.
The main problem is the sensitivity when playing on mouse and keyboard OR a controller is insanely high and there is absolutely no way to change it. No settings menu, nothing in the Unity config pop up when starting the game, not even a config file. I looked around online and the only fix I found was a MOD to change the sensitivity. I shouldn't have to download a mod to change something so basic. And that's not to mention the narrow FOV that will gives people like me headaches.
I found a thread in the community section where other people were asking how to fix the sensitivity and the FOV back when the game first released, and the developer actually responded saying that adding those options were on their to do list. That's great! Except the game released five years ago and they've been radio silent about addressing these issues. That's annoying, but what's worse is the developer is working on a whole new sequel. So while they're working on a new game, they either are unable to add basic settings to their original title or don't care enough to do so.
A lack of such basic options that I know Unity can provide is something I can let slide on a free game, or even something that costs maybe two dollars. But this costs FIFTEEN. Granted, this game has a playable demo but I didn't realize that before purchasing, otherwise I would've known to avoid buying this. And since I sunk 8 hours into Hypnospace Outlaw, refunding this game wasn't an option since I got them bundled together.
The lesson here is look for a playable demo before buying a game.
And to add the most basic settings to your fifteen dollar game.
