Easy Platforming tip for Keyboard & Mourse players
By Throren
The Issue

I know for whatever reasons many people might not have a controller and as someone who's playing through this with KB&M, I found the platforming a little frustrating at times, due to the lack of true 360° movement as WASD locks you to only 8 axis of movement. This makes jumping to very small ledges or walking across thin beams annoying, especially when they are on an angle.


Moving using WASD


The Fix

To make platforming and walking across narrow spaces easier, do not press WASD, simply hold ALT and your character will automatically walk and follow your mouse pointer. This gives you full smooth 360° movement and turning

This can also be used while sprinting. Simply hold SHIFT while making sure you aren't touching WASD, and your character will sprint towards the mouse, very useful for trying to land tricky jumps.

TL;DR
Dont touch your WASD keys and hold ALT, which makes your character follow your mouse cursor allowing for precise movement, great for walking over narrow ledges; likewise hold SHIFT while not pressing your movement keys will do the same thing, but just sprinting, making trickier angled jumps and platforming easier

While Im sure lots of people may have already figured this out, I didn't find this out until after dying 10 times from the cage jumping puzzle in the quarry - after learning this trick, I did it in one try.

Any way this will be implemented for controllers? Keyboard and mouse is unacceptable.

PSA: Anyone doing this should disable the input language hotkeys in the advanced keyboard settings in Windows or else your keyboard layout could be changed
