God of War 3 so far is nowhere near as challenging as the other games, but it is soooooooooooo epic!!!!

are you playing it on god (normal) or titan (hard) because on hard the boss fights become painful. especially the cerberus (with the styar) and the the maze with the waves and waves of dudes.

Even the normal of GOW 2 was harder. I am not saying the game is bad....not every game has to be perfect. 

Impossible!  God of War cannot have faults!

And while I haven't gotten to 2 and 3 yet, I'm at the end of God of War and it's a button masher.  Considering nobody really disputes that God of War 3 is God of War 2 is God of War I can assume the others are button mashers (which isn't a bad thing, it is what it is).

I tried to do the combos and switch things up but I'm having much better success just spamming square with the occassional triangle and pressing L1 when I need to.  If anything big comes up I use to use Poseidon's Rage but now Army of Hades makes it even easier.  So far, the combat has been pretty mindless.

If you want more depth in the combat, then play the game on a harder difficulty. The difficulty above the default should take away the notion of "mindless" combat. This was the case for GOW2 and GOW3, GOW1 I don't remember since it's been so long. There will be alot for strategy involved at a higher difficulty, you'll learn to fear what certain monsters bring to the table, while never getting the sense that it's just "cheap" or "not fair."
