You'll see a lot of reviews talking about how hard the game is or how unintuitive the combat feels, but the missing factor in the analysis provided by the reviews is they have completely neglected to just get good. Honestly the game is easy, just move your enemy's healthbar to the left before they move yours to the left. It's the simplest game in the entire world when you keep this simple mechanic in mind. How exactly do you do this? Play better than them. You literally can't lose if you're better and they don't hit you while you hit them. Protip: just pick rapier and bind stab to left click, it's trivial, so why aren't you doing it? I'm sure plenty of players will still struggle with this, as plenty of players just don't feel like trying but they could totally win if they did. So just try and you'll win, but not too hard you sweaty ass animation abusing loser.
