I came to the conclusion the combat is worse than in TW2, for several reasons:
- enemies rarely attack
- blocking is absolutely useless (doesn't work against monster + it's so much easier just to dodge)
- enemies don't retaliate after a continuously attacking them
- strong attack is useless. fast attack has better speed, not -so-much worse damage and you can stagger-lock enemies
- Yrden is only useful against enemies which cannot be hit otherwise
- attack animations (fast attacks) aren't consistent in their speed
- Aard only affect enemies only after it visually hit them
- you can basically spam dodges
- the adrenaline thing makes it feel like Batman Arkham City
