(I guess I should review this too?)
Zen is cool and I think the game benefits from having it. Feels like a nice escalation from the rest of the game. It goes from a beautifully serene alien forest with only an occasional sign of horror to a chase down by a gonad spider ending at a completely alien factory with barely any signs of anything human. While I do enjoy this part of the game a ton they really could have cut back a bit. It loses the tension for me in Gonarch's Lair and Makes Interloper a complete slog.
