Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Rough start.
First, mouse sensitivity was crazy bad. Took a bit to get it to where it felt natural. Then the control scheme is much different from the first game. Instead of right clicking to take cover, right click now aims your sights. Taking cover being the single most important aspect of a stealth game... Anyone see why that could be a problem? Also, instead of smooth controls used in the first game to move around cover they added a lot of space bar action, jumping over cover, and moving to certain distances based on where you move the mouse. Plus they added shadows to show where you'll go like you're stuck in a persistent tutorial.
I just checked reviews and they're positive, but you can see the red flags.
When the controls are brutal and take this long to get used to it makes me not want to play the game. Not good.
The last game I would take any chance to play. This one I'm writing this rather than play it...
