"Absolutely phenomenal. I started the game, died a lot, got frustrated and wasn't sure when I'd enjoy it. I wanted the full experience but I was also struggling. I beat the first 'chapter' of the game but wanted to restart after having an awful time and resorted to cheating with the dev console to skip some levels.

Forum users helped me with encouragement, and also admitted that they themselves used mods and some of the accessibility settings in the remix option to ease into it.

I also learned more about the movement of the game; it's all a learning experience and while I won't spoil anything here I will say that you can outmaneuver a lot of predators with speed, agility or both.

Finally, I beat the game without strictly cheating (maybe some would account accessibility options as cheating, but I still beat the game using regular tools at my disposal)

Here's some settings / mods I'd suggest:

- Play as survivor instead of monk (Food might seem tough at first but don't worry, the experience IS better as survivor)
- Monk style gates (Once you enter an area, its unlocked permanently)
- DO NOT USE 'Disable karma requirements' (High karma gates are used to say 'this is a hard area'. I turned this off in my initial playthrough and it meant I went into a really hard area by accident and gave me a horrible experience).
- Loading screen tips (There's some VITAL information I never figured out, wish I turned this on sooner)
- Maximum rain timer (Normally its RNG how much time you get, but I just used this so that I always have forever before the rain. Turn off as you get better)
- Slug senses (ability to see a visual 'threat' meter so you know enemies are nearby)
- Breath time leniency (Makes it so that you don't die as quickly when out of oxygen under water)
- Sharpener mod (allows you to resize window)
- SBCameraScroll (Combines appropriate rooms into long rooms where the camera follows you, great to avoid BS deaths where something is pixels away from you but offscreen so you had no idea. Also helps you know which ways you can go)
- Infinite Spears (This is kind of cheating, but spears are very important. I turned this on at first so that I could get used to using spears in and out of combat as I was very bad with my throws and end up losing them. You can then turn down the number of spears so instead of having infinite spears on your back you just have more than one. Eventually turn this mod off when comfortable with using the spears around you)
- Some people like the health bar mod but I never used it

Good luck and let me tell you, it's worth it."
