New combat update makes solo fights especially in the flashback scenes while clearing sublevel 2 nearly impossible, I get 1 attack then the 3 closest guys run up and kill me. Even in the group fights it makes combat slower, yeah movement doesn't use energy but I can't move after using my energy so I can't attack and back off to kite the enemies like I used to. recharging only 1 energy per round instead of two makes akimbo weapons lose the benefit of akimbo. Also if an enemy can't move close enough to you there's a chance the game just softlocks.

I am experiencing the same issue. The softlock whenever an enemy cannot move closer to you because another one is blocking their path is especially annoying (the game freezes on "ENEMY TURN" without any of them moving, forcing you to restart the game). On top of that, energy is not reset to full at the beginning of a new fight, so I start all my fights with only 1 energy. Recently I learned this can be avoided by restarting the game (closing and opening again), but when the fight gets softlocked then even if you go back to a previous saved point you still start the fight with only 1 energy, making you restart the game again if you want to get full energy bars. Even when doing that and having a progressive first turn in the fight, the enemies softlock and you still need to restart, making it impossible to advance from Sublevel 2 Floria_Flashback_4B.
