First off, I don't know if it's just me but I really preferred playing with a mouse & keyboard. The steering still felt kinda odd but I had a much better experience than when using a gamepad. Other than that I liked the mechanics that were showcased (such as the net and harpoon), though there wasn't really enough time to get used to using them properly, and I love the overall atmosphere of the game, the colour palette and music is very pleasing.
Looking forward to any updates to this game (if there be any to come ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
