Is the combat better, worse or about the same as the first one?

[Sycho]

I liked the first game but the combat kept me from finishing the game. Combat was deplorable IMO.
I'm interested if it has changed in any way for better or worse?
Thanks

Same idea but implemented way better

Combat is the same, i thought they would improve it or wishful thinking rework it but its the same just a bit more simple. However it turned me off from the game, it's great until you get into melee-fighting.

[Geeks On Hugs]

It HAS improved. It's way better. Way tighter.

Very simplified. Dumbed it down instead of fixing the issues, so who knows.

thats a shame i was kinda looking forward to this game but if it still uses the same combat as the first game then i guess i will have to pass

if you fight one or two opponents you can't lose after you learn master strike.
At all. Just master-strike them to oblivion.
it is ridiculously easy when you are fighting enemies, and not the camera and the controls and Henry getting stuck at each piece of rabble on the ground.
It's also slow. Extremely slow

again this silly comments about the fight system for no hands or people who clearly player to much AC. learn it or leave it
