Not the combat. That's actually the easiest in the series I've played, since I can just spam mighty shot on literally everything, run 5 feet away so they drop aggro and repeat. But everything else.

Every encounter is so tedious. There's like 7-10 enemies in every single fight, any any one of which can just decide to not take hitstun. I can shoot them, but its boring. I can fight them in melee, but I don't have the tools for that.

The game seems to want me to fight these groups too. Right now its leading me to a castle that has something like 12 enemies outside of it that also shoots me with arrows.

I don't understand how this is fun.

In Demons, Darksouls 1 and 2, these encounters would be like 2-5 enemies max.
