As someone who prefers plane-style controls, I would say that have a rather hard time mentally rotating 3D controls. I suppose that's what the article would call 'inverted controls', but the description is terrible: 'push down on the controller to make their onscreen character look down'. A better description would be 'move the right analogue stick back in order to make the camera face down'.

Regardless, if motorcycle-style controls (forward to point the camera up) would make me faster but less accurate then I'm not interested. I'm the type to prioritise accuracy over speed.

The description isn't terrible, though. That's what the input direction is called (see also d-pad down, arrow down)
