Bow and Sword killed the game for me

After a year I can say this with certainty. Each time I try to return to finish the game I get immediately annoyed by unskippable bow section on the swamp and just in general the necessity of using these weapons because of the ammo concerns make me stop playing incredibly fast.

I just put it on the easiest level and went through that level several times. Can shoot the bow now blind folded. In this case you can't fight it but must work through it. This game is very hard and it will, no matter how good you are can frustrate you. But once finishing a level you never thought possible - it is rather rewarding. You can also practice the bow in the arena for different scenery.

The sword was the same way, now it is my favorite weapon that can clear literally hundreds of critters at once and looks utterly awesome when using the timelock (slow motion).

I don't care practicing the bow. I don't like it as a mechanics. I hate drawing the string and slashing the sword in a game that is supposed to be about guns. That's it.

I've passed through swamp when it came out, I hated it through and through, but I did it. I don't care relearning the bow again and again when I replay. And this means I won't replay.

I love the sword (it's probably the best weapon in the game) but man, that bow. It is an absolutely terrible weapon. Slow and removes the ability to dual wield, plus it has projectile drop... literally the only thing going for it is the infinite ammo. And so much of the game is built around using that stupid bow.

Problem with bow is that the devs convinced themselves that everyone should use it maniacally as they do. There is a video of one of the devs using it like a machine gun, except it's out of realm of possibilities of 99% of the humans. I stopped playing the game long time ago because of that issue.
