I really want to like the updates but even with the rebalancing patch they made, it's still way off. My partner and I created new toons and a new seed to start again. (The only mod we use is V+ for some QOL things but we leave the mechanics of the game alone.) It took forever to take down the second boss because the early foods really don't give you enough stamina or health to roll either way. I don't the game more tedious because I always collect everything when I see it but stamina degrades WAY too fast and too easily and it's not balanced with how slow it ticks up along with the health. We're adapting our playing style but it's definitely made it harder and not in a fun way. They made a mess of it, to be honest.
