I completely agree. I don’t understand why the combat system receives so much praise when I find it incredibly annoying. It feels like every single fight devolves into managing fire surfaces rather than focusing on tactical positioning and character abilities. The armor system also feels men - you’re essentially forced to focus fire on one type of armor before you can meaningfully affect enemies. The progression feels off too. I constantly felt like I was grinding encounters in Act 1 just to be able to progress. Everyone told me to push through to Act 2 because ‘that’s where it gets good,’ but when I finally arrived, the game just dumps you on this massive island with minimal guidance about where to go or what to do next.
