I wouldn't mind so much if I felt powerful, but it takes a billion hits to take down even the basic enemies. You can be fighting a single one, then a ton show up with a boss, then you just about manage to get to the point where you think you can beat him and then two other bosses show up and you're screwed.
The carador attacks are painful, you just have to keep hitting dodge repeatedly as if you try and tine it, you'll end up in a corner with the camera blocking the QTE prompt. That's crazy.
