I've dumped over 100 hours into this so far and I'm not even close to finishing the story. I'm finding the combat is just terrible. Whatever you think you knew about "parrying" in games, throw it out the window. For some reason, instead of hitting a button jst slightly before an enemy attacks, you have to hit it just as the enemy is starting its attack. Its really bizarre and frustrating at times due to the windows constantly shifting. Stealth is garbage. There is literally no reason to be stealthy as there aren't really any concequences.
The graphics (Especially in 4K!!) sound and exploration are al top notch but i feel the game is too big. After 100 hours, I should've been done and waiting for DLC. A lot of the different areas all succomb to the same mundane activities like destroy cursed symbol, gather wealth, complete/solve mysteries etc. etc.
I suppose if i enjoyed the combat more, i'd be more inclined to grind it out. But as it stands, I really need to stop and take a break here and there.
