second play session of nine sols, there is definitely a little bit of jank with off-screen enemies attacking you and spotting you. that's kind of lame. otherwise, it definitely feels like a game where i know i'm not good at it yet but it makes me actually want to take the time to get good at it because harder segments usually have a save point nearby or, if they don't, they have a shortcut to the save point that you can unlock so you don't have to travel as far. it's a really hard game, but death is not too unforgiving. good balance so far.
