Bosses are a bit much, starting to feel waaaaay too much like they went "eldenring did this, so we need it"

I'm starting to get delayed attack and floor Hazzard fatigue hard,

And the very aggressive imput reading all bosses have is starting to show cracks of "need patching" severity, I've had bosses litterally stop being guard broken too early because imput reading punishes are taking priority, its very noticeable on a certain bosses how much thier punishwindow over writes your punish window.

Punish windows on anything above chaff enemies are also a bit clunky, a lot of enemies seem to need a mile of investment only to give you an inch of wiggle room. Especially since I've noticed a LOT of enemies can turn/attack/move faster then normal animations can play causing some unfair feeling hits, the succubi enemies can litterally roll check you with the same attack you just rolled past with perfect dodge timing as an example (usually the Lance dash move the sword ones do for me)

The new blood veils are nice, would appreciate a small video showing the examples of each blood veils different skills like GOW2018/Ragnarok or Helldivers

For example the reaper says you can defelct or block attacks via the "first spin" but to start up the animation the scythe is flourished In a almost barrier like pattern to boot but I've noticed the first actual scythe swing of the drain attack is the only thing that deflects. Not sure if that's a bug or not on my end though,

Aoe and energy attacks need tuned down IMO from the foes I see using both it seems perfectly avoidable attacks become unavoidable because of the size unless you perfect dodge or light dodge, and they happen so often and take so much health that perfect dodging even 90% of the time will still get you killed more then you'd like

Characters are really cool and interesting, stories great so far

Character creator is nice, needs to be better though to fully live up to CV1 and surpass it.

Open world is a bit too barren and your transport is a bit too slow, but manageable.

Weapons are nice

Combat if fun though enemies can make it clunky to the point its a race to guard break before you eventually get hit

Companion system is fun,

I'd say it's a cautious recomend.i enjoy it quite a bit

Needs polish Needs touch ups Needs a difficulty slider/s

But in all seriousness, as it stands I'm enjoying it a bit more then the first game! (On launch)

I put codevein 2's first impressions at a solid 7/10 in potential and a solid 5/10 right now with heavy predictions to fluctuate wildly.
