Motion controls are a huge letdown.
The gyro sensor has drifting trouble for not only the camera, but also in brief moments of item rotation. Simply providing a button in game to activate motion control and/or recalibrate could have fixed this problem. Further more, I have yet to find even a recalibrate option in the menus.
And strangely enough, motion controls can be used for menu selection, but you have to jerk the joy-con up or down to move in the corresponding direction? Obviously that is not ideal, but sometimes if you relax your right arm while selecting menu options with your left joystick, your right joy-con will register a motion, jumping your cursor up or down a spot. This is like Wii-era bad.
Anyways, I'm enjoying playing through the game with my wife with motion controls off. It's just a bummer because I kept picturing this being the long awaited motion control sequel to Godfather Wii, and it's clearly not.
