i used my PS4 controller to play Nioh on my PC, steam supports it. I highly recommend people to use a controller for souls-like game. completely transformed the experience.

assuming if you drop Elden Ring, there are still a lot of other souls-like game that you can use the controller for. heck you can use it for other things too like action RPG games and racing/driving games (way better than keyboard). the only thing controller is bad for is probably RPG.
