I tried to get into SotC twice, but to no avail. I did not enjoy the controls, but eventually I got used to them... thing was, if I stopped playing the game for whatever reason for more than a few days (work tends to be that reason), I find myself struggling way more with the controls than I thought I should be, and set it aside for a long period of time. Not that I've given up on the game (I have the ICO/SotC HD collection), but it's a tad difficult for me to get into personally unless I have the proper time investment.
That said, I had similar problems with ICO's controls, though I managed through that one at a slow pace. Great game overall, regardless of the controls.
