My overall feeling is of annoyance

[Gunfreak]

So I'm well into the game. And I've found that while I think the world and exploration is great. And i enjoy those little adventures to take to get strength points.
The combat is just annoying. The 3rd person action adventure combat (that I don't really enjoy in 3rd person adventure games) is just annoying.

The frist behemoth was just boring. Not exciting, just janky and annoying. The behemoth itself wasn't very impressive.

The human boss fights are just annoying and you want to get through them. I got through that bow boss on first try. But i didn't enjoy it.

I met some none boss human with a big sword. Nice big helmet. But no armor on legs or arms. I chop into the arms and just do a tiny bit of damage. I enjoy to some degree getting in a series of blocks and parries. But to kill the guy/gal I'm forced to use my strength power. Until the helmet comes off and then more strength powe to chop them in half.

All the time. I'm playing this. I just feel this wonderful world they've made would have been so much better if they just made some blade and Sorcery combat, that was more refined and less janky. This combat doesn't really feel like I need motion controllers. It feels like it really wants me to use an Xbox of PS controller.
