Inventory sorting is a welcome quality-of-life improvement and makes item management easier, even though other interface interactions can still be unreliable.

Cons: haptic feedback integration, controls responsiveness
The amount of build information can make menus feel busy and MMO-like, and a few interface decisions are called awkward rather than intuitive.

Menu usability was a major tradeoff, with streamlining praised but DigiFarm/evolution menu separation and training menuing often criticized.
