Hi, I am about halfway through and enjoying it a lot.
I wonder: how much RPG experience do you have? I am asking for two reasons.
First, I am surprised that the did not try to have a healer in your party. Now, in Clair Obscur it may be less necessary because you can just avoid taking damage, but it goes against RPG instincts. (Or maybe I am just always stingy with items.)
Second, I think that in an RPG the player has some responsibility in managing their level to make the fights enjoyable. I fear that because you are so thorough with the side stuff you are now over-levelled so that main story boss fights will be less interesting. I guess I will see soon when we get to the Axons. This happened to me, although later in the game. I think it is actually a weakness of Clair Obscur that it doesn't signal to the player how much side stuff is good to do and when is a good time for it.
Just some thoughts. I am not saying that you are playing "wrong", of course, and I hope that you are enjoying it as much as I did my two play-throughs and watching yours now.

You are in it now Amber! So stoked for you to experience what’s next. Parrying those charmed debuff attacks was awesome. Wish I could erase my memory of playing the game, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind style, and play this game again. Although, I will play it again when Photo mode is added.
