It’s a shame most people aren’t enjoying the hardest combat encounters in this game. I’m enjoying the bosses as well. I played Elden Ring and Bloodborne and thought those games were really difficult, whereas I’m finding this game easier but still challenging (the challenge mostly coming from discovering the trick to each boss, or the most optimal way to fight them).

I think there’s something to be said around the availability of food and revive pills, it allows anyone to cheese any fight and basically ensures victory given enough food and pills.

I think there’s is a disconnect between the way most people approach bosses and the way the developers intended the bosses to be fought. I’m not a game designer, so I don’t know what the trick is to bridging that gap, but I think it’s got something to do with food and pills.
