I am able to play this game super conservatively and still dispatch enemies quickly because of the off hand stagger system, but I'm still dying all the time because of ridiculous awful stun locking from nearly every enemy in the game. The worst of it comes when I'm trying to parry or to 'backstab' a downed enemy, both of which seem to work intermittently. I'm losing full bars of health with out a chance to get away because I'm not close enough on the enemy to get a crit in (even when I like, totally am). It's especially bad because every fight in this game feels like the Capra Demon in that they're in very close quarters -- 90% of my effort in this game is making sure that my back isn't' against the wall, which can make dodging practically impossible
I really hope the areas in this game open up because between the camera, the dodging, and the stun locking make the deaths in this game way more frustrating than instructional
