The first one was really good, although it got pretty easy and repetitive near the end. But it was a fun ready and repetitive. Maybe it's just too hard for you?
it has nothing to do with difficulty, it's the repetitiveness that you mentioned. you cant even walk like 5 feet without running into a group of enemies, and once you've walked 10 feet from where you killed them another group shows up. the combat isnt nearly deep enough to justify the literal nonstop rate of encounters.
although, what I will say is too difficult is when youre fighting a captain/chief and they run away, it's so difficult to actually run them down and kill them when youre also being constantly harried by dozens of trash mobs. that part is the only frustrating thing difficulty wise imho. the rest is just so boring after like 30 min.
