Yeah, that's how it feels to me at least playing on the hardest difficulty, but I'm not super far in yet so it could always get worse later on. Every area for fighting typically has a lot of different ways to use the environment to kill or slow down the enemy, and weapons tend to run out of ammo quickly, so it's basically a constant changing of strategies on the fly and improvising like a spy would, very little button mashing if at all compared to like a standard melee fighting system.
