This game is too hard :-\
I played on easiest difficulty and at the first encounter with the alien where you have to sneak. I keep getting 1 shot by the alien for 20 minutes. Uninstalled the game after that :-\

It's only one room, and then your done with that part of the tutorial.
Video of stealth part of tutorial.
Are there a lot of missions like that? I can't even handle this one, don't want to commit if there are a lot of these types of missions :-\

Maybe I just watch a youtube play through

Much of the game involves avoiding combat with the aliens, and you'll be forced to fight if you're spotted. There are like 2 missions that wholly rely on stealth only, both short, including the tutorial. The tutorial may make it seem harder than it is, but it's not that bad. There are a few sections where they teach you to sneak past dormant aliens but you don't absolutely have to. When fighting humans, you'll use the cover system to avoid ranged damage.

Mr. RayThor has tons of gameplay videos himself, even with him running the game with only one marine. Don't let the tutorial give you the wrong idea. It's not truly so difficult throughout the rest of the game.
I hate stealth :-(

Is this how you deal with challenges in life? Quit when it gets hard?

That tutorial was just trying to teach you how to use the stealth mechanics. Once you get past that you can play however the hell you want.

If you chose a custom campaign, you can reduce enemy HP and damage and just say f it when it comes to stealth and just walk around the map mowing everything down.

All you had to do was get past that one part in the tutorial and you were good, but you'll never know, because you quit.
yeah well, they shouldn't have made that tutorial mission gate keep so hard :-\

Later on you can just blast your way through stealth rooms if you want. Bonus points if you bring a suppressed sniper and just pick them off one at a time.

The point is crossing slowly without being detected using the stealth mechanics the game itself is teaching you to use right at that moment. Of course it is hard if you just run...
The autosaves are just done so illogically, it will autosave right before a cutscene so if I die right after the UNSKIPPABLE DIALOGUE then I have to watch it all over again.

Logic would dictate that the autosave should be right after the cutscenes/events.
That isn't logic, but opinion. There are multiple ways to see that situation, and it's not always clear cut.

its not that hard, just dont run and hide if hes near. You'll love it, this game reminds me of XCOM2 which is a TOP5 game of all time.
