You can change the controls to your liking. There are a few presets like: trackpad as mouse, standard controller using joysticks, etc. And you can just select the one that matches your desired experience as closely as possible and then tweak it even further.

Also, there are tabs under the control selection screen to look at community control schemes and it will show how many collective hours are played under each scheme so you can be fairly well assured that it's a good control scheme before you try it out.
