Combat in this game is more about planning how you want it to pan out ahead of time and then sometimes reacting when something inevitably fucks up
I'm also not huge on the combat, but the story is good, characters are good and it has pretty expansive side content with a myriad of optional and secret bosses (which is my thing) so I look past it.
It's not for everyone, and I'm not gonna lie and say it gets better (it does get more interesting though), but it is still a good game, despite everything.
