Loved the style, the story was cheesy but fun (the comic book presentation was great), gameplay felt okay with the exception of the adaptive difficulty being dumb. The health system is really bad and the trial and error isn't fun even though I sometimes like that style of combat. The combination of feeling like you need to perfect clear a room to have good health for your next save rather than just trying to complete it normally, and having to wait through the lengthy death animation between tries for the adaptive difficulty to work at all make it tedious. I could see the flow here being much more like a Hotline Miami, for example, and the difficulty being much more fun in that case. Can definitely see the good ideas for the start of a series here but it's a bit rough around the edges now. I've already played 3 a while ago and enjoyed that more, have heard that 2 is the best one so I'm excited to see the improvements there.
