Alright, so I like this game. I enjoy the combat, and I feel the updates have been slowly improving it.
I only ever play Arena mode.
Seeing things in the standard game is a chore. The visuals all blur together, and are dark with low contrast. The game is straining on my eyes, and something of an ordeal. This might be atmospheric in a simpler game, but in this game I need to be watching the very specific movements of my character and enemies. Slight placements of feet, where arms are exactly.
The goals of dark brooding atmosphere and refined physics combat are at odds.
Likewise, if I want to play this game for the combat, hoards of zombie-like enemies with high potential damage to long term health, really detract from enjoying the combat on a pure level. It seems to be a common issue in the game, that it has interesting mechanics that do not match with the tone in the campaign game that well.
At this point there is little to no solution here, but I would be remiss if I didn't at least bring it up. It might be *because* find the the combat interesting that the visuals become a chore, but that doesn't feel like a healthy place for the game to be.
