Until you get pretty late in the game, it really suffers from a lack of variety in combat options, but by the time you get to the variety, you're basically locked into just doing whatever moves interrupt the enemy or whichever super-move is warmed up.

Agreeing with all these comments. The game started off really strong in my opinion, but it falls flat very hard after a certain point. Both from a writing perspective and in the combat variety.

The interrupts were interesting to me because I hadn’t seen a mechanic quite like that before. But I suppose it’s true that once you see an enemy charging up there is essentially just one “correct” choice to make, which limits what choices you actually have and puts you on a rail.

Sooooo many moonerangs. That was a big complaint of mine as well. The combat doesn’t really evolve much.
