I really want to play this game. The story is great, the visuals are great, the level design is great. The QTEs that make up the core mechanic in the game are killing it for me: To me they are so stressful and difficult (on Easy!). I'm just not fast enough to do them. I don't know if it's ADHD, autism or age-related (or a fun combo of these?) but the first encounter with the bot that you have to 'catch' that dispenses the game's currency just got me to rage-quit the game.
I wish there was an Easy setting for the QTE mechanic but at present I'm not good enough to enjoy the game. Genuinely sad about it :(
Ok, rant over!
EDIT to clarify: QTE = Quick Time Events. In the game they are puzzles you must solve quickly in order to survive enemy encounters (e.g. your weapon is mostly ineffective otherwise), get loot, open up areas, etc. So they're not identical to QTEs in games like God of War, but you still have to do them in a certain sequence, solve within seconds and they are unavoidable. So maybe "quick-time puzzles" is a better name for this. To reiterate, it is a fantastic game! My only regret is that it doesn't cater to the incapable minority such as myself. I'm only whining here because I really really really want to play it otherwise :)
