I had my doubts too and almost dismissed the game for not having B&S like combat.
You don't need realistic physics to be fun. In a game like this it would become pretty fucking exhausting and easy to exploit. It feels more gamey but has a good flow to it. It's more learning the enemy's timing and attack patterns and getting into that rythm. 
The game is more than just a combat grind as it still has it's RPG elements. There is a lot of puzzles solving of fucking around with contraptions to figure out how they work.
It's not just some arena battle.
