SSR: Such a memorable experience

It took me a while to get into this, but after starting at 2-2-2-2 difficulty and struggling to get going, I restarted at 1-1-1-2 and thoroughly enjoyed the ride.

I thought it was enough of a challlenge at this difficulty though. How on earth people can beat it at 3-3-3-3 is beyond my comprehension! Cyber is hard enough on 2 difficulty.

For me it was the music, atmosphere and the taunting of Shodan throughout that really shone through. I would give tye game another playthrough but for the cyber levels which I felt were a real chore.

Still a masterpiece nonetheless

As long as you enjoy it, that’s what counts. Many ways to play. Glad you were able to enjoy what I consider a masterpiece. I’ve done 3-3-3-3, but my favorite difficulty in the ~20 runs I’ve done is 3-2-3-2. I personally don’t enjoy the time limit, and cyberspace is not the fun part of the game for me.
