Difficulty spikes
Devs I love your game, but those crazy stupid difficulty spikes are enough to disgust me.

And some gameplay phases are even worse.

I have good armor, a decent weapon and some NPCs seem to have Mk 12 weapons as well as endless ammo.

So it's not just me then, I've sunk 14 hours or so in to this so far and I am now on the main mission Trace Protocol.

I would have said towards the latter part of Foreign Code leading in to Trace Protocol the difficulty spike is like playing on ultra nightmare and I am just taking an absolute battering, the jump in level is crazy and frustrating.

EDIT: After repeatedly lowering the difficulty to easy as I was constantly getting swarmed by insane bots the game crashed, when I relaunched everything was back to normal - Oh well.

I enjoy the game too. I got to the final boss and finally gave up. But there where several points in the game where I got stuck on a boss or area is a lot harder than previous areas. At some point its more tactics than health/armour/weapons. I went through half the game before I learned how to dive roll lol. Sometimes I found running the most effective, get the mob following you slowly cull their numbers use obstacles shield yourself and funnel them into groups and use techs. There are so many options but I wonder if its easier in a group. Never had anyone to play with...

The fact that some enemies come from the room you just cleaned is also very annoying.
Same as infinity waves of mobs.
