It's just a matter of balancing the enemy scaling. All the mechanics are great. The issue was the enemies stats and equipment scaling ridiculously in the later chapters. Even with save scumming and optimal play, the player character cannot match their stats/equip. Not only that, you had to fight 1v3 or even worse odds all the time. Reinforcements are fresh and you are tired and wounded from the first 2 guys. Tell me how to beat that without save scumming.
Unless they actually find the right balance to make it playable without cheating and/or save scumming at every RNG roll, the game will not reach its potential.
