Season 5 changes based on your desisions in the previous seasons. The different stories you could be doing at the moment include a path with a 6th ranger, or teaming up with space police.
Your current story is basicly hard mode son. ENJOY!
The version of the 5th season you are playing is based on Kamen Rider. Kamen Rider is from the same genre that Super Sentai and its spinoff adaption Power Rangers are based off of, that being Tokusatsu. Kamen Riders generally go solo with a maybe a second or third member that actually helps out. It makes sense in context. Plot-wise I'd say it's actually the best of the 5th seasons, but I can see why you would find the gameplay boring.
The episode against Colin's Bear is notorious for requiring hit and run tactics, I will give you that one. Regardless of which branch you take you will always be required to record the full season. You do get help during the first and last episodes but... yeah, I can see why you'd want help during at least one in-between.
If you really hate the Night Driver path so much, then during the season 4 finale, beat Lord Gaga without knocking out Zombie Tammy first. If you do that, then you'll gain access to one of four different 6th characters that add onto your team. I dunno if you pay any attention to the dialogue or not, but if you do, they do hint that you can do that.
If you choose to let Tammy join you, well, she joins you. During the last scene of the final episode, Tammy gets 11th hour power which gives her a massive boost to most of her stats.
If you choose to knock out Tammy before you defeat Lord Gaga, you are stuck on the Night Driver path. Tammy is sent home. The Assault is apparently the only person that's at the studio. While everybody else is out, her father, Mr. Ahbo shows up to give the Chroma Squad something. Unfortunately, the rest of the squad gets kidnapped... somehow. Come to think of it, I'm not entirely sure how believable that is, but considering the number of bosses you don't run into while playing the Night Driver path, it wouldn't surprise me if the villains had a single moment of clarity and attacked all at once. Anyways, you team up with Mr. Ahbo where he uses the Night Driver powers. Unfortunately, plot happens so he has to give his powers to the Assault. During the final episode of Season 5 you get help from the Cat that's been running around the studio for however long. During the last episode, Mr. Ahbo shows up for the final scene using his Night Driver powers... somehow. Yeah, if you read the dialogue even he makes note of how it doesn't really make any sense, so because video games!
Basically, depending on your playstyle, you might either not know about the Night Driver path or get stuck on it and only really know that other options exists because there are multiple endings. Unlike some games, your choice doesn't happen at the very end of game, it happens a full in-game season before that.
Last I checked, Colin's Bear is the most challenging aspect of the Night Driver path. Maybe the final level as well. If you were arguing that Colin's Bear is poorly designed I'm not sure what my response would be. However, on average, I find the Night Driver path to be about on par with anything else and not inherently more challenging just because you're going solo. If anything, the ability to blow up enemies en masse using the Driver Mode buff makes it easier than the other paths as it's just a matter of attacking the largest clusters of enemies for maximum explosions. Admittedly, I tend to min/max my game, but I mostly play on Challenging where it's effectively mandatory. I've never once played the Night Driver path on Interesting and that's basically the only reason I noticed it being a lot harder than my first run on Interesting. As I've since figured out the best way to optimize my run, it's gone a lot smoother.
Also, like Demigodz pointed out, that story branch is based on Kamen Rider where the main characters go solo. It's pretty hard to make an homage to a series where the character fights solo unless the character fights solo. All things considered, I thought they did it pretty well. I have played one of the other paths on challenging, and all things considered, I think the biggest source of challenge is merely that a min/maxer like myself can't use double Biinon's Invisibility to cheese the path.
You had one job during that fight, and you went ahead and beat her like a red headed step child!

There is no warning about it and no chance to reload your save, Colin's Bear was not made to be fought with only one character. It's completely fair that some people don't like it.
Technically, the game likes to make backup saves. I don't know what actually prompts it.
In case you weren't paying attention, I wasn't excusing it as being okay because it's a cool Kamen Rider reference. I was saying it's fine because the Driver Mode ability allows you to blow up large groups of enemies. As such, I find that it balances out the fact your allies aren't around to help you out. The Night Driver also can move 1 tile further, has 40 Defense so it doesn't take as much damage as normal, and has a boost to attack. If you think it's too hard then you can always just switch to a lower difficulty. It's not like any of the difficulty achievements are tied to a particular ending to the game.
They tweaked Colin's Bear to make it more manageable on challenging. As far as I can tell, neither the "Armored" nor "Violent" trait actually do anything. They're just there to supply a tool tip that informs you how the devs think you should handle a given enemy. The Colin's Bear on the Rider path has less health and less defense than the normal one, but it's not actually any stronger than the regular one. The Violent Trait is just there to inform you that the devs think you should try hit & run tactics. If you choose to ignore it, that's your business.
Personally, my biggest complaint with Colin's Bear is that it's a tedious fight. I min/maxed my Night Driver on my more recent runs of Challenging and I still had to basically do the same pattern for about 1012 turns or so. There is one other 1-on-1 fight later on in the season that I find is much better. It manages to be about as difficult without inflating time because the boss summons stuff around the both of you that you can use your Driver Explosions on to rake in the damage. It's about as hard, but takes around half the time to complete.
