If you’re a player who’s enjoying the majority of Wild Hearts but are having some trouble getting past its thumbstick clunkiness, you aren’t alone.

Though these are features that many, many games have given players over the last few years, it appears that KOEI TECMO just gives players a handful of things, without any of them being too important. The team may just not be very comfortable with controller settings, and adding dead zone settings just wasn’t in the cards.

But if you’re curious as to what settings can be adjusted, there are a few to tickle your fancy. You can fully remap buttons on your controller, adjust Snap, change how to Karakuri Stance, change the button hold time, toggle controller vibration, and even adjust various aspects of the game’s camera. Though the dead zone can’t be fixed, there are at least a few things that make other aspects of gameplay better.
