Took my chainsword through a tyranid pack in one mission and lit up the power strike just as they closed in. Cut a clean path right through the middle without getting pinned.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 kept the pressure high after that with bigger waves and no break between them.

Still got one-shot from behind by something I never saw on the minimap. That kind of death just wastes the upgrades you spent time on.

Harder fights are fine when they give you a chance to react.

The first hour was mostly crossing empty stretches with nothing pulling me along. I kept checking how far the next settlement was and wondering if it was worth it.

Then the combat in those old ruins pulled me back in. Picking a route through the stones and having to handle enemies up close actually made the time pass differently.

Crimson Desert Enhanced still limits how much the fights change once you're out in the open forests though. For twenty minutes you're mostly choosing the next path and repeating the same exchanges.

Tried The Outlast Trials after work and my focus was shot from the start. One small distraction I set up near the vents got ignored completely and the whole patrol turned on me without any warning.

Died right before the extraction door because the timing on a single noise cue was off and there was no recovery. That one felt cheap rather than hard.

The game keeps demanding perfect coordination on every run but punishes any slip like it's intentional. Not in the mood to grind that kind of frustration again tonight.
