I was enjoying the gunplay and the movement a fair bit. But at some point, I spent more time getting frustrated at navigating this map than having fun shooting things. Enemy variety is lacking, and I found the most common enemy type to be the most annoying one: the guys that float and blow up. I briefly liked the game when I got the levitation ability, but after spending 10 minutes looking for Ahti in the coolant pump sector, I was done. The first 2 hours were pretty flawless. The story was incomprehensible, but I was willing to put up with it because I was hoping that eventually, things would become clearer. Spoiler alert: they never did. This game also insulted my intelligence by making me do a pretty straightforward puzzle (with the symbols and whiteboards. If you played the game, you'll know what I'm talking about). I knew what I had to do, but it required a bit of running around because the whiteboards were spaced out. Every 20 seconds or so, Marshall would bark something at me like "I tHiNk tHe WhItEbOaRdS hAvE sOmEtHiNg tO dO wiTH iT" and "hE hAs tHe sOluTiON wRiTteN dOWn hErE soMEwhErE" like I'm a fucking lobotomite. Ever since that moment, my experience has been soured, and despite putting another 2 hours into this game, I won't be coming back.
