Yeah. There are brief moments where the combat shines through and you see what could have been (two boss fights in particular), but most of the time the combat is just "serviceable". I dont think it'd kill most people's experience, but it is noticeable.

Also, if you do eventually play it and beat it, make sure to look up the Japanese version of the ending song. It was one of those cases where they had to cut the lyrics in the eng version. Sucks because its a really chill song that ties the feelsy ending together. I'm so, so worried that the game has a sequel coming. I really hope beyond hope it just gets canceled.
