Just a question, have you leveled up your stats properly? I mean, have you increased your stats in relation to the weapon you’re using?
And another question, have you upgraded the cook in Sacrament to get better recipes?
Do you have gear that matches your character’s level, or are you dragging around outdated equipment?
I mention this because when a character is somewhat optimized, the difficulty drops considerably.
Check these aspects of the game. Give it a second try and you’ll see it’s a good game
