I wish I could like this game but the combat gameplay is so frustratingly annoying that I had to stop playing it.

These are things to know about combat in this game
- When you get hit you get staggered which interrupts attacks
- All your attacks have really slow startup animations and force you to be mostly stationary until the animation finishes
- Enemies will block half of your attacks on average
- 99% of enemies have longer melee attack ranges than you and faster attack animations
- Your summons are idiots and half of them barely ever attack if they don't get immediately surrounded and die
- "Blocking" (acts more like a parry) doesn't mean much when the 2nd guy attacking you at the same time just hits you during the block winddown
- You can't outrun enemies since everyone has nearly the same running speed
- Nearly all enemy encounters involve you fighting large groups

What this means is: You will often find yourself in situations where you literally cannot attack because your slow attack animation would get interrupted constantly and endlessly by the 2-4 enemies chasing you while your summons immediately die in 5 seconds.

After a while of this I legitimately couldn't say I was enjoying myself so I just stopped.
