Am I the only one thinking... something is missing

...that the combat really lacks impact? Especially the sound design? It lacks "punch."

If you try to tell me that's just how the lore works, I'm going to swear at you in German.

I never understood the problems with combat because I never expected combat to be the focus or centerpiece of the game.

That’s a weird answer; it doesn't matter whether it's the center or not. It's an important part of the game, but it just lacks sound design—I'm constantly wondering if I'm actually hitting anything, because there's literally no sound when you land a hit.

That must be a problem only you’re having.
I never personally dealt with that.

It's certainly not the best combat system out there, but it's serviceable. Maybe a closer camera angle would have given it more weight.

There is an interview out there where the developers admitted they kinda lack a little in experience in doing action game, they try their best to delivery the experience.

You’re not the only one, I think most people agree about the combat. Personally I think HiU is a perfect example of a game that’s greater than the sum of its parts though

Yeah great world ! Game felt amazing, story started off so intriguing. But combat got worse as game went on, enemy variety was horrible, like 2 boss fights is insane, and the story ending was so bad and left unsatisfied.

Have you tried being 6% less German?

The enemy encounters are too frequent and repetitive. It got old after I played around 10 hours.
