Honestly can't relate. Some of the things you see as problems are things that make the game better, low stamina, horse riding and even game difficulty. The idea of an open world it that you can go anywhere, but not always you really have the ability to be there. Recognizing your own limitations and understand you sometimes need to took some time before exploring certain areas is part of the experience, and I don't find it frustrating at all, I actually find pretty rewarding even the smallest dumb things like when I got enough stamina to climb some hill I couldn't before
I can't disagree about the battle system, because I always sucked hard with controls in battle/action games, so the fact I suck in this one is nothing new for me
About the story, the game have a good one, it's just not tell in a traditional linear way. Many people even finish the game before collect all memories tbh
Maybe the way the game was designed just doesn't appeal to you. No game will be liked by everyone
