this is honestly one of my favorite games of all time
i really liked the game. but i really feel that it suffered from being too easy - even on hard. the puzzles were a joke and the combat was 'spam space to never get hit'. it really invalidated most of the feeling of anxiousness or intensity. in the video his point of the permadeath adding to the stress is great - but it's not even close to hard enough for that to be true. i died like once, and because i misunderstood a mechanic. it needs harder puzzles and more punishing combat
