The gameplay is mediocre but the storytelling, soundtrack, and atmosphere are amazingly good. One of the few games I want to finish in quite some time.

Im pretty early into the game so my opinion might change but I simply cannot believe how important dodging and parrying is to the outcome of pretty much any battle. I cannot survive any battle without dodging or parrying pretty much every single attack. Id say I get one-shot by like 75% of enemies I face and can survive at most 3 hits from everything else. I literally never have used Gustaves overcharge at full charge because I haven't had a fight last long enough to fill it up. I either parry and counter attack to win. Or can't time it right and die instantly. There's virtually no in between so far.

Again, this might change later and maybe the difficulty is the problem (I'm trying it on expert) but I'm genuinely surprised at how vital it is to dodge and parry so far. Every fight just comes down to whether or not I can dodge every attack. Still liking the game and all but dang, kinda rough gameplay.

Try switching down from expert mode for one fight.
