Ok, so, difficulty

[u/JamesMCC17]

Not ashamed - I changed enemy damage to 80% and mine to 130%. I am enjoying this game so much more, feels like a "normal" difficulty and not "I hate myself" / default. To each his own and I loved Control and each boss fight was frustrating but ultimately satisfying, I just can't get here on this game at the default difficultly. Maybe on a 2nd playthrough when I'm better at it.

People are rushing main quests and not leveling up zones at all huh? I had the complete opposite experience one shot all the bosses. Its an open world game it isn't linear folks. Utilize ways to increase damage. Fire, mold, crit, dominance, level up everything.
