@siarhei: totally agree with you. it's an 18-mission campaign. imagining losing it at 17th. it's sadistic.

@aaronlav: restarting a mission is ok. restarting from the beginning of an 18-mission campaign is sadistic.

The problem isn't the roguelite part, but the 'restart from the beginning' part. The patience, repetition and training required to enjoy the mode are enough to pick up a new real life skill.

I picked the latter.

IO paid a steep price for its arrogance by opting for design decisions that cater mainly for elite players. It's a sad day, but it's also an important lesson for IO on market reality and broad appeal, esp if you want to work with a publisher like Square Enix.

Mysteriously waking up in a strange sci-fi transport seems to be all the rage now as a game theme. We had Hyper Rift, Stasis not long ago, and now, Soma. All great games with mind blowing endings.

@Undertow207 @ExK I don't have enough time to follow through so many seasons. thanks for ur comment. I'll now think twice about getting the game.

@warriors30 @ExK thank you for ur view :)

will I be able to understand the plot if I've never watched the series?
