Thanks for the feedback. I have found the Right/Left leg controls provide a much higher level of accurate controls than the auto-walk prompted by directional controls, it definitely takes some practice to get the hang of that. Titans getting bent in on themselves also sounds like it might be a titan specific issue? I've definitely had some titans whose arms get stuck routinely. I feel a core component of the game is trying out different titans and trying to mutate something that moves in the most responsive way possible. I know the controls will always be a challenge, but hopefully you'll find some titans that work better for you.
Re: the text, there's some filters that should make the text/UI easier to read. I opted to include the UI in all of the post-processing for the aesthetic, but depending on the display resolution it isn't always the easiest to read by default.
