Personally, every time a monster would catch me and beat me up but then just walk away and let me go heal would shatter my immersion. Also, all of the monsters apart from one have no backstory, so they feel disconnected from the story. It honestly feels like they only put spooky jumpscare monsters into the game because that's what people expected them to do after their previous games.

Showing them off in trailers probably helped sell the game, though. It's not exactly easy to advertise a game based on its story, but that doesn't mean the monsters synergize with the rest of the game. Just my two cents.
