I’ve been really getting into this over the last few days. The right stick is a still a bit numb but I find if you boost the input acceleration up then it improves things.
Despite initially being a bit unsure of it, I really love the combat in this game, it’s of the type where it’s not about twitch trigger skills, but rather using the right weapon and right tactics for each fight. Once you figure out the tactic for an enemy it becomes pretty manageable, despite the game throwing wave after wave at you.
I like as well how the enemies interact with each other and with the physics. If a group of enemies is charging you with torches, then you can shoot a torch out of their hands and set the whole group on fire. That type of thing. I also like tricking the enemies into traps as well, which can really satisfying.
