L M F A O :D

Beat the 2 levels on 'Outlander'. Much better. The only pick - some deaths can feel a bit cheap - e.g. a cyst zombie guy lurking around the corner can often insta-kill you just by walking into you. I would personally prefer to see increased enemy numbers rather than stronger attacks, cause what's the point of collecting all the special armour if it gets wiped away by a few basic attacks?

But I'm just nitpicking.

My only REAL gripe - the 'Outlander' difficulty, albeit perfectly manageable, will require a redesign of certain areas. Mainly this infuriating trap in one spot towards the end of The Mire. As you climb up on the trees and reach the gateway in the rocks, you get locked up with an Executioner and a bunch of other baddies. And it's a mess of a fight in the game's current state. It's doable, but unless you are expecting an ambush (and one as unbalanced as that), and are fully stocked on health / armour or have the right powerup on you, get ready to reload the last save. Over and over again.

Other than that, so far so good! Thank you for listening to the players' feedback! Can't wait for another episode!
