[@emjaythegreat22]

Their review about combat they really didn’t go into detail how important theft timing dodges and attacks change. For example red hood shoots one bullet per tap of range attacks yet when you perfect time them his weapons light up and he shoots rapid fire twice per shot instead of once. With talent tree you can shoot two bullets per shot making perfect time shots shooting 4 bullets per shot!! Melting people so fast. You can just button mash but you won’t get the most out of it at all! And you build momentum bars so much faster as well
