How are the controls? I assumed, it was mainly a keyboard+mouse game.

It has a completely different interface for controller play. In some ways it's even superior to keyboard+mouse. Like, you can hold down A (or X on PlayStation) and search in a radius around you and then get a list of all interactable objects around you.

You can change between the two interfaces by pushing a button on the respective device. So if you prefer the keyboard+mouse interface for some things you can easily get it.

I've only played with a controller, so it's crazy to think this feature doesn't exist for K+M, but I guess it makes sense.

Pretty good, actually. I play it couch co-op with an Xbox style controller. Keyboard and mouse work great as well.

Larian did a good job with it.
