Me personally, I thought the combat was pretty ass. Boss combat, in particular. Like they played Dark Souls and their takeaway was "Okay, so to make good combat, you need to make it SUPER difficult, and then give them a dodge roll." REALLY put a damper on the experience as a whole, which is a shame, because every other aspect of that game is FANTASTIC.

If you haven't played it, do yourself a favor and just be ready to turn on assist mode or no-death mode for the bosses.
