While I appreciate Bleed’s style and energy my quibbles with its control consistently stood in the way of me liking it more. You can learn to adapt to the way games feel but overall Bleed just seems a little more distant from what I’d consider tight controls than I’d prefer in such an intense game. Mix that with fast-moving enemies and an abundance of bullets on the screen and it sometimes feels like that side of the table holds the game back a little. There’s no doubt it will have its fans, and in general I like what it does, but I personally prefer some of the other options on the platform more.
