I have only played on console (XBox Series X) and have not played on PC. If the game is differeent between the two systesms, I apologize. The game is difficult and requires learning the dodge/parry mechanic. Act 1 is the most forgiving, as i assume the game is giving the player time to learn. Act 2 takes off the gloves. Turning down the difficulty to Story mode did not help. It was ok for a while, but I learned that some Boss fights REQUIRE you Parry to do damage and survive. Otherwise, the Boss (+minions) will overwelm you with their attacks. Even in Story mode, the Parry (very small window of opportunity) was not something I could replicate time and again. I was able to get the dodge, but that only allowed me to survive a little longer. To beat the game, you will have to Parry (no damage to your characters and increased damage to the Boss). Since it's turn-based combat, the fights last a long time with plenty of opportunities to mess it up. I don't care about being the best and only wanted to finish the game. Definitely rent or borrow this game!!!
