Game just isn’t that fun. What’s baffling to me is that the boss fights are the low point. AC v AC I find incredibly engaging and fun, but the boss fights just feel so one sided and basically force you into the meta build for that fight or else there is a negligible chance of victory. Customization is awesome, build tinkering is awesome, but if there’s only one or two builds that can effectively counter a boss…. Then what’s the point? And I hate to compare this to a souls game because YES I know it isn’t a souls game…. But when I die to a souls borne boss… it feels fair. I can identify my mistakes. I can change the strategy. Victory feels good and rewarding. That satisfaction wasn’t here. I dreaded each and every chapter ending and I sadly do not see myself going into NG+. Wanted to like it, but the whole thing just felt like an uphill slog.
