It's both actually, I would prefer it if it was balanced to the side of boss fights because repeating the last 15 minutes before the boss (that two shots you with the new move you have yet to memorize) 20x is really fucking tedious.
And then you finally get to the next checkpoint and the monsters resets again... fan fucking tastic, let's whip out the big hose and piss all over your progress shall we.
Sadly the way they set up the freakishly short boss fights they need those minions in the way all the time to build up any tension, this made it the equivalent of a racing game where you start off at home driving your fragile race car to the track meticulously avoiding all traffic dangers so it's all good for the main event, but that is only 30 seconds long and should you lose we go back home to try again.
