I’m a souls player, so I’m used to parry mechanics. But CO:E33 really missed the mark for me. I head into brick walled that first optional guy you come across after the intro. 1 hit ko? Ok I’ve dealt with this before. Took like 5 tried, but as the game went on it felt super clunky and way too punishing. I also switched to easy about half way through, but then it was wayyyy too easy and thus the game was less engaging.
