Can anyone speak to combat in KCD 2?

I’ve been loving getting through the first game, but combat has its pretty major annoyances. This post isn’t really getting into that because I’m sure it’s already been discussed to death.

One of the issues I personally have with it is many enemies vs Henry combat situations where you constantly get circled and enemies hit you in the back. It’s simply a tedium. 1 on 1 fights is amazing and actually allows the system to shine.

My hope is that they tuned the AI somewhat to not be so spammy by circling you constantly. Can anyone confirm if this is an area addressed by the sequel?
