Targeting boss vs. urns during final fight
Having completed the game several times now, I find that the only time I am frustrated is during the final fight with Hades - specifically during the second phase when he summons the green urns.

When Hades is approaching me, it is often the case I would rather target him than the urns, but the default is for Zag to target the urns by default instead. This has lead to an urn being hit unintentionally, broken, Zag getting stuck (for 30 damage! - which, in my opinion is way too much) and then struck by Hades as well for 40 more damage.

I can't understand why the urn is the default target and not Hades. If the boss is coming toward me - unless the urn can hold Hades in place as well, giving me a few seconds to hit him - there is no reason, in my opinion, why Zag should default to target the urn.

As I said, it is the only time during the entire game (which is excellent, by the way!) that I've actually felt the game did not play smoothy and felt frustrated. Does anyone else have an issue with this?

Thanks for taking the time to read this, Devs! :)

I switched off auto-aim because of similar problems with the railgun, and it's a lot better that way. I was scared to do it at first, but it's actually easier to be in definite control.

I did this because of the same problem you had, where there wasn't a sensible pecking order for auto-aim, and one of the aspects requires you to throw a bomb with your Special and then hit it with your ranged weapon. I don't know if they've fixed it, but my suggestion was it should prioritise the Special bomb (if it's been thrown), followed by enemies in your aiming cone (central first), followed by off-angle enemies, followed by urns. But maybe this shows why they're game designers and I'm not, since that suggestion breaks down in the Hades fight: you'd probably never hit an urn, and the whole point of them is that they should get you sometimes.

So, yeah, try Auto-aim off.
