I find stupid games were you reached the last level just before the final boss fight or similar, basically not giving you time to enjoy it. It's a good mechanic for neverending games like skyrim but horrible for a game like this
I played so many games where I NEVER reached the last level before beating the last boss, some of the best games actually.
If a game is going to benchmark progression just to finish the grind, then it comes to question, what even is the point of leveling? This game being on point with exactly that question. Getting to the final act, you're just pushing those last 2-3 levels so that doing the actual content doesn't suck as much for you, as opposed to going in when you were ready.
