Ghost of Yotei sucked that taint so hard it has made me audibly groan more than once.
At one point I was kicking some boss’ ass so hard the game started glitching out because the environment was supposed to gradually start catching on fire. It went from cute little dueling ring to flames popping in all around, and at full health triggering a cut scene where Atsu is crawling on the ground fighting for her life.
Within half an hour of that encounter I was dueling a guy who 1 hit killed me within a second of the duel starting. Literally the instant I have control over my character I have to either dodge or block, depending on what color the attack is, but because the PS5 controller has so much input lag, I actually need to be pressing that button a moment before I actually can.
Cut to wandering around looking for literally any combat just to see if I’m crazy but none of the regular mooks can even touch me. Or I get absolutely annihilated by magical teleporting dudes making attacks that literally cannot be avoided. There is no in-between.
Souls. The clumsy roll and artificial difficulty spikes and losing all your shit because you didn’t do it all “just right” for the entire encounter.
Ugh.
EDIT: Honorable mention . . . Timers. I’m looking at you, current Bungie.

What the fuck are you playing on, a potato? I’m halfway through this game and have yet to encounter any of that horrid mess.
Restart your console or something.
I have all the consoles so I’m not a fanboy, in case that’s a thing of which I’m about to be accused.
