I know a lot of people might be tired of hearing it, but Expedition 33 is SO beautiful!

I am sorry to hear that. There are quite a few mods that further modify the parry and dodge windows making them way more forgiving.
For the story alone I can totally recommend it and you still get quite engrossed in the scenery.
And I also never perfectly dodged or parried everything so maybe that helps as a reference point. Sometimes I really had to learn to expect what was coming.
