Started KCD2 on PS5 Pro. Excellent 4k60 performance. Single graphics option, no quality or performance mode nonsense

The combat is total BS. I played Act 1 in expert. After a while, it got repetitive and boring. Like you said, the combat is fun in expert but for how long?! If you’re willing to spend 70-80 hrs parrying and blocking for challenge, then go ahead. And the skill tree and levelling system as always is unnecessarily confusing and complicated. Also, playing in story mode doesn’t mean you can spam same moves. Because higher level enemies can one shot you.

Freaking boring race till now

^^100% completion and 8/10 score. But Story bad, gameplay bad and boring ? Playing on Story to save time and rush it to finish the game, will indeed make it boring imo. Fun only on expert where enemies counter and parry your attacks and can kill u for spamming same move attack patterns. Story mode is literally god mode cheat code. You cant die in it unless u stand still and take hits. When u compare combat to previous AC games, its really good, especially Naoe combat.
