Combat can get quite difficult. I can’t beat this one guy in a mission and I’ve tried like 10 times, but that doesn’t mean that the system is bad. Its really cool. It just means I need to git gud by levelling Henry and getting better gear. Removing it would be destroying a key part of the game and, aside from basically being impossible for the studio now, it would just suck in general.
The combat can be a bitch, but it’s still an RPG, so if you level and get the right gear, it gets a hell of a lot easier.
