badly wish I had the wherewithal to power my way through the early/mid-game slump becasue past the rigorous difficulty scaling is a genuinely fascinating world full of character and curiosity when you aren't interacting with it through one-sided combat. Surely there are more interesting ways of crafting an oppressive game atmosphere without feeling like a clockwork ball kick (which this game achieves, however fleetingly) than increasing enemy rat health by fivefold, or getting instantly swiss-cheesed by a chance enclave encounter. Can't with it right now, but I'll probably pick it back up in the future.
