I gave up somewhere around the lava monsters, and I stuck around till then mostly thanks to the sunk cost fallacy.

This game is interesting and unique in places, but it feels like they were trying to be as tedious and annoying as possible. The list of "why did they design it that way?" is quite long and ridiculous.

Why did I need to revisit the exact same levels multiple times?
Why is my hitbox this idiotically wide in a game where I'm expected to dodge projectiles in tight spaces?
What’s up with those stupid mines?
Why do half of the enemies have no chance in hеll of ever damaging me in any meaningful capacity, while the other half are the most annoying bastards ever? Where is the middle ground?
Why are there bombs in ammo crates at random, forcing me to waste ammo to get a chance at ammo?
Whose fever dream gave birth to that water temple?
Why does it feel like the grenade jump is the intended way to go?
Why are the annoying platforming challenges the most dangerous thing here?

And the list goes on.
