I wouldn't think so, besides some boss spoilers, but the bosses really need to be played and heard to appreciated, they're not the most interesting visually.
I would say play 30 minutes of the game, then go watch GamesRadar's overview video. That should be enough, but you can also look at specific builds (even if you can't always build into them.)
And GamesRadar's video is correct: just get the Electro Pylon Driver. I mean, play with all the weapons, but that thing is OP.
Edit: Oh, and I played with a controller that had back bumpers (Elite Series 2). I think that's probably the main thing that made it easier, jumping and dashing while keeping both thumbs on the sticks made combat way easier.
Edit 2: Oh, and after you beat the game, watch this video essay. Actually, go ahead and watch the first 2:30m of the video now. It's one of the greatest lore/story/interpretation breakdowns I've ever seen and gave me a huge appreciation for the absolute gem of a game this was. It's an absolute piece of art and heady as hell. If you bounce off the game, and you are sure you'll never beat it, go ahead and watch the video anyway. It's really that good.
