Gave in and dropped difficulty because of that one room. Just not having fun right now with such a low margin for error, when playing at midnight after a long day.


I feel like I could have cleared after a few tries if I chose my runes and mods differently. I didn't know how vital it was to shoot out weak points, or else I would have gotten the time slow rune instead of the speed one. The plasma rifle AoE would have saved me from all those bodyblocking deaths.


I don't feel good about dropping difficulty, but I don't think I have it in me to tough it out right now. I'll probably turn it back up after I'm a bit more familiar with the systems. Still fumbling a lot of hotkeys.


Right now I'm not really liking how this game's combat feels very defensive rather than aggressive. You're always so close to death that you're mostly just fighting for your life instead of going forward to kick ass. It's exhilarating, but it's making me feel vulnerable rather than powerful. I'm expecting that to change later as I get better at the game's systems, but right now I'm a bit lukewarm about it.
