I just started this last week (wanted to try it for the winter challenge but didn't make it in time).
I do like the battle system, especially for boss fights, but I wouldn't mind if they got rid of the random encounters, or made it in a way that was balanced so you'd only run into predefined combat scenarios. My experience is definitely colored by me going through and 100%ing as much as I can along the way, so I'm running into every fight the game has, often more than once for the same spawn, and it gets extremely repetitive. The controls for it aren't great and the combat animations take too long, which combined with the same enemy setups, just leads to frustration where I ultimately feel like I could be spending my time better doing something else. Even just removing the respawning enemies would probably go a long way in encouraging me to play more.
Which is a shame since I'm enjoying everything else about the game, and I like the puzzles, but the battle system novelty wore off quick.
