There's loads of content, smart design implementation all over, and even the level remixes (Twilight Versions) feel really fresh and inventive. Level design can be a little dull, but it never really matters since the combat is so intense, and it still has its showcase moments.
I'm almost done with the game and honestly I started off enthralled like you were but my opinion has devolved into more of a meh. The bosses are amazing and the combat is great, but the level design is largely uninspired, especially how repetitious the side missions become, and the enemy variety is incredibly lacking. Also the loot pinata aspect has gotten pretty old, I don't even bother to look through what I got most of the time anymore because the differences are usually pretty minimal.
I don't think I'm going to bother with playing NG+
You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.
