Honestly, I wish they didn't nerf the progression so hard. There are basically no builds you can make in act 1 and that's a huge chunk of the game. SS will be far less replayable than HK.
It's like Dark Souls vs Sekiro. The latter is only good for speedrunning.
Yes, HK was too easy and you could facetank everything up to Traitor Lors, but this is not the way.
