The overall level design of this game is pretty awful. The layout of levels makes no sense in a lot of cases.

"Oh waaaa you're just bad at the game just play on easiest difficulty." What part of LEVEL DESIGN don't you people understand? I can deal with the enemies. The AI is a joke, frankly. All I have to do is hide around a corner and aggro them, then shoot them in the head when they charge through. I don't get killed by most of the enemies. What's sucks about this game is how you often find yourself running around an area with no enemies trying to figure out where you're supposed to go or what you're supposed to do.



Here's a fine example of how bad the level design is. In one level, you have to traverse the surface to get to a library. First off, just finding the way to the library is a ♥♥♥♥♥ because you have no idea where you're going and it's easy to get all turned around.

So now I found the correct manhole to jump into, I pop out the other side, and I approach a building. Suddenly the top of that building collapses. YOU CANNOT BACK UP FAST ENOUGH TO ESCAPE THE FALLING DEBRIS. It was such a dead on hit that instantly killed me, that as I watched the debris falling to hit my face, I thought it was a cutscene. No, turns out you have to trip out the game by sprinting into this spot and sprinting back out of it to set off the trigger, AND THEN you can continue.

Now I've found the library. The game said I'd find my buddies there. Nothing's there. Convinced my game was bugged, I looked for a solution. All the online guides say "Just wait until they come." I sat there for literally an hour and they never came. Frustrated, I just started shooting my shotgun randomly into the air. This aggro'd every enemy in a three block radius who all then came to murder me. ONLY NOW do my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ allies show up.

It just gets worse from there. I'm not being challenged anymore. A challenge is when I know what the goal is and there's a gap of skill to reach that goal. This is the kind of game that makes you run around for 20 minutes screaming, "WHERE THE @#$% DO I GO!?!!"

This game is garbage, and I cannot be arsed to finish it with the miserably bad level design it uses. I'm okay with games being difficult, but there's a difference between "git gud" and a game that punishes you without warning.
