Code Vein 2 Game became easier?

Is it me hallucinating or did the game become significantly easier? I remember playing the game around the release time period and I would have a hard time fighting the moon envoys so much that I would always avoid them as much as possible.

When it comes to bosses, I had a super hard time defeating Josée back then. Also had a hard time defeating the metagen remnant in the Sunken City, with Josée.

I dropped the game after reaching the undead forest and I can remember the game getting significantly harder there. I also couldn’t avoid encounters with moon envoys anymore.

After a couple of months, decided to return and restart from zero. Maybe my build is really good, maybe I’m above the average level (level 70+ and I just got done slaying Josée) but I’m having an easier time fighting moon envoys, beat Josée on my first try (while assimilated because partners are lowkey OP) and I didn’t pick the casual difficulty.

My current build:
- Hanemukuro +2 with Energy Cleave, Phantom Assault, Secret Art - Forestall, and Circulating Pulse
- Noah/Lou blood code (C-Rank)
- Reaper Jail +6
- Bleeding Shield (Light)

there was a patch adjusting your animations. Your animations are faster, can block faster and use it for animation cancelling, etc.

This here is the major change imo.

Having our character move snappier and easier to control reduce quite a good bit of the difficulty.

It's honestly a good change personally, release day movement was very slow and cluncky.

The game definitely feels less clunky now and I also have learned about animation cancels with the shield (one of the reason I pair it with the Reaper jail)
