I got the game before the update, and I admit, it was really hard at first. I could only save half of the crew. But everything about this game, the graphics, the sound effects, are so gorgeous that I had to take the challenge. I played for hours everyday. The harder it got, the more tempted I was to complete it. And it felt nice to do so.
I love the obstacles right after elevators, they get me almost every time, so I need to memorise them. I love the occasional gaps I have to jump without any sign. I love that I have to open/close doors at the right time, never too early.
Well, apparently, not many feel the same way I do, since the devs changed almost everything I love. I understand, they have to change to satisfy other players too. Many want something interesting and playable, not a challenge.
Still, I hope the devs will bring back the original difficulty, something like Hardcore mode. That would be awesome.
Overall, this is a great game. I'd totally recommend it to everyone. I look forward to more amazing games from theses developers.
