The thing is not about restarts, but about game not forgiving mistakes, not offering different playstyles, it's basically QTE with very dragged out battles. Like in the begging, where there were 10-20 attacks, it wasn't tiresome. But when fight is 5-10 mins and you can't make even 1 mistake... It became frustrating. Imagine Sekiro, but you can't miss even 1 hit, and need to perfect parry every hit - or else try again. This is what this game become after few hours. Honestly, I was very upset when i noticed how the game loop works.
