The game needs a better camera and a dedicated block button.

Seriously? "Get better at parrying" is the best you guys can give as an answer to a total valid critique of the game's obvious weaknesses?
The camera IS bad in this game and you will only not notice this, when you'll play it in a way that avoids reliance on it. Try to fight against a couple of soldiers (at least three) once without slicing them apart immediately and try parrying stuff or do purposeful evade slashes. Since the parry relies heavily on you pressing into the right direction, you will miss a lot because of the chaotic camera in such situations, which even manages to mess up things, when you're only fighting against a single enemy as soon, as you get near a wall. Also it is totally annoying, that it always shows Raiden in front view, when you did a finisher, which is really disorienting and not seldom lets you lose track of enemies. The same goes for the evade slash, which, for what it is, has an overly complicated input which as well will get mixed up too often with a normal slash, thanks to the camera and the game not being able to decide which enemy to focus on outside of the lock-on. All of this stuff only works well, when you're fighting one enemy at a time without others interfering, or cannon fodder (which is the only type of enemy in the demo but sure won't be in the finished game) for which you don't have to rely on these game mechanics since you can dispose of them immediately.
The game would seriously benefit from an evade button or, more importantly, the same input for parrying Bayonetta had. There wasn't a chance for stuff to get mixed up with other crap because of double layered input schemes in that game. As it is, with inputs relying on direction, an iffy camera and the control scheme having all those double layered commands, which always tend to let stuff come out you didn't want to do, it tends to feel really sloppy at times which just isn't good for a game that expects precision from you.
I really love Bayonetta and Vanquish especially for their as good as flawless control schemes. MGR though just doesn't feel that refined in the slightest way and seriously, these actions you have in MGR don't differ from those you had in Bayonetta. Just the way you have to input them is a chore in comparison, since they obviously wanted to make room for the slicing gimmick on the controller (which btw. also doesn't feel as good as it should because of the angle tending to get messed up at times, when you let go of the analogue stick...).
