Just got back from a deployment today. Last couple of weeks, I've actually been playing it for the first time. I got to one of the endings, no problem. Needed a bit of google help to see the real ending. A few of the puzzles are pretty damn hard to piece together... but clever when you first learn them and then learn how it was found out.
This game is rewarding even if you cheat. So much so, that the mother of all cheats is built right in. If you go to your options and turn on no fail mode, you cannot die (so a boss kicking your butt is not really an excuse). It took me damn near 3/4 of the game to figure out how to upgrade my stats, so I used no fail mode the first time around. It's still fun to find everything and solve all of the puzzles.
I'm just disappointed in the 2nd playthrough. As far as I can tell, there are only a handful of new (and tough as hell) enemies, and nothing much else changes.
Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!
