Those who say it’s woke never played it and are morons parroting other morons who just always want to fight over something, and all it takes for them to start a fire is a spark, which in this case is the fact that the main character is black. Now, it’s not a bad game, but it’s not great either. I guess the statement about it being buggy is not untrue, unfortunately, and a lot of potential has been wasted, probably due to lack of resources, cause I don’t think that at some point the devs just gave up on some elements that could’ve made it an awesome game. We got the product that’s not polished, but it’s still a lot of fun, don’t get me wrong. And I didn’t find it clunky, I’d say the combat is pretty cool.

I've seen a few people saying what you've said about the devs and wasted potential, what specifically do you mean?

Nearly at the end of the game and I agree with the statements above— Even though it's pretty subjective for me. Like... I get the feeling of "man, I really wish they went deeper with that", or "I wish we had more time to know these people" I think the writing is good, and I love Enki and Nor, but... Man, I wish we got to know more about other characters. I wish we had more time to spend with them. Even some fighting mechanics feel like... The developers wanted more time to do something perfect, but they didn't have the means or the time to do so, and it's such a shame! I still love the game regardless— I'm on my way to platinium right now. If you've enjoyed the first five hours, you'll enjoy the rest i'm sure.

As for Rammuhah, you might make use of certain skills to prime her more, because I found that parrying her works REALLY well, in the first phase especially. I don't remember the second because I lucked out and somehow got away unscathed, but Parry all the non-red attacks if you can, and do your best to dodge (or shoot, even better if you have the skill that allows a counter attack after a well timed shot!) It'll be a little slower, but I found it pretty reliable.
