Game running in super slow motion

[Komorebi]

Specifically when I'm fighting monsters, the game goes into slow motion. My longsword swings are super sluggish and the monsters move like a 3rd rate action movie. When I get knocked back away from the monster the game ramps up back to normal speeds.
My frame rate is fine at 60fps. The game itself is running slow. This happened all of a sudden as I reached the Iceborne Nargacuga quest. What's going on?

Specs:
Ryzen 9 3900X
RTX2070 Super (Geforce Driver 442.74)
32GB RAM

Does it persist after saving, closing the game, and restarting?

My guess would be that a cutscene modified the timescale and somehow it failed to return it to normal afterwards.

Yeah it's persistent. I've saved, relaunched the game and restarted. Still happens.
I've been using a "control" monster (Fulgur Anjanath) to test when I changed settings (the slow motion does happen with other monsters).

So far I've tried:
• Updating nVidia drivers. and downgrading.
• Turned Vsync off/on
• Changed all my graphics setting to the lowest potato settings.
• Changed it back to highest settings.
• Reinstalled the entire game.

Still happens. It's driving me nuts because a game about timing attacks with monters in slow motion is broken like this T-T

Can you record a video? It sounds very bizarre.

Here I tried to replicate the conditions in the fight. I could feel it in the game but I'm not so sure its very obvious in the video (I normally can't foresight slash fo shizz). Idk, you tell me.

Normal weapon speed at 0:59
Fight at 1:25

That Anja bite/ first counter at 1:34 was super sluggish.
