After sorting out the performance issues I've actually found it to be a really enjoyable game, however it's going to get filed alongside Returnal in that it's another one I won't get to experience because one mistake and it's everything lost and back to the start to repeat the entire process.
No, no, no. This is not enjoyable. I get that some people may like the challenge of this approach but surely they can build in a save system that caters for those who don't? Plus, this system were you need to buy the weapon or power you just spent an hour achieving, and you realise you don't have enough to buy it so it's repeat the whole thing yet again.
So frustrating.
