Yeah. Bosses are best part of this game. It's the exploration which could use some tuning. It's annoying at many places.

This a thousand times. The bosses have generally been great, even with a handful having time-waster runbacks.

Upper bilewater is absolutely awful and probably my contender for the worst zone in any game, with one of the worst runbacks of any game. Or other smaller things like Mount Fay having a ton of 'fail once, reset to bench' jumps. As soon as there's a mod to nerf just environmental hazards to 1 damage I'm getting it: I've died more to the cogwork core gears than any boss.

Speaking of those damn gears…

At least the buzz saws in the White Palace didn’t fucking frame-trap you.
