Regretting my purchase

I'm not sure what it is, but something feels VERY DIFFERENT to the betas. The game felt solid, blocking and parrying worked perfectly, the guardbreak spam didn't feel as punishing, the whole thing played incredibly well.

I've just gone through the story, jumped into multiplayer. Everything good about the beta, feels lost. It doesn't play like the same game, I don't get it.

Maybe it's just me being rubbish, because my lvl1 everything is matchmaking against prestige 2+ in most games, but I just don't get it anymore.

Rant over.
