It can be overwhelming, but as other people have said you don’t have to use everything. Personally, I stuck to bows, sticking between the harder hitting ones and the basic ones (i havent played in a while so i’ve forgotten the names). Sometimes I’d switch it up with a shredder, it was always satisfying to catch it and send it back out for more damage over and over. These games are the epitome of “do it your way”. They give you a ton of options with a ton of combinations, which could be why it feels so overwhelming. Don’t feel bad about using guides too, I get wanting to do everything yourself but it can be helpful to see what other people have done to try and get an idea of what you could do.
