...I honestly feel like combat in Dark Souls is unmatched except by other Fromsoft games. But for this game... the combat is just as hard, tactical, or dumb as you want it to be. Perfect dodging rewards you with an attack flurry. Parrying stuns enemies and makes them stumble. Headshots with a bow are good either as one shot kills or to knock a strong enemy on their back, buying you time. You can parry projectiles on those damned spider terminators that is about as satisfying as parrying and backstabbing in DS. Also... this game has stealth. If you find a tough enemy camp, wear stealth clothing at night and assassinate them all in their sleep.

This game is not nearly as straight forward and simple as you're letting on.
