I fought a bear with an umbrella in this new soulslike MMO that plays like Genshin Impact with way better combat

The protagonist of Where Winds Meet readies her sword for battle.

If there's one thing that bugs me about Genshin Impact, it's the combat. Exploring its pretty open world is all fine and great until the moment you're dumped into a boss fight and realize it's a baby's first action RPG where every move you make is tied to one annoying little stamina bar.

Even though Genshin Impact is about much more than its combat, I've always wished there was more to it than leveling up individual pieces of gear until you can trivialize every encounter. Swapping characters isn't even that fun to do when the best strategy is to have most of them act as cooldowns you press every once in a while. Once I found myself stuck in this routine, I stopped playing it.
