This is a game for which the developers said “you have to cheese it, we made it that way intentionally”.

You have to do fights trying to cheese it as much as possible, guess the correct order based on your level as well and often end up in situations that are impossible to resolve unless you do something that doesn’t make sense.

And let’s not forget the “kill everything that moves to get the most xp possible” because that’s the way it’s intended to be played.

If it was just a straight up “combat - cutscene - combat” I would agree with the “great game” opinion because the game only shines for the combat system.

Everything else is below average when not straight out broken.
