This game has an odd difficulty curve, and unfortunately the area right after the intro area is filled with some of the hardest challenges in the game (actually i'm not totally sure about this because this is just how i played. never saw any sort of indication of areas gated based on completion though). You're not at all required to beat each area completely before you move on, but it might be wise to if you're stuck.
Twisting + pushing puzzles like PPP and Steven's Sausage Roll can easily get overwhelmingly difficult and I think a lot of that is just locking 3D motion to a weird layered 2D grid. PPP handled this pretty well but there were moments when the forced eagle-eye camera angle made it difficult to see what was positioned where.
Like someone else said here, once I was done with the main island, I was happy to leave it there. Each of the 5 or 6 main areas have a cool mechanic and the last puzzle was a really fun big finale.
