I remember playing through this game a couple of years ago, and back then I found it frustrating at times. Now I was able to blast through it in one sitting. The length of the game depends on one's skill.
The soundtrack is pretty much perfect.
It seems that my biggest problems with this game weren't as severe as I remember them being back in the day, and I'm going to list them here:
- RNG (biggest problem of this game, even speedrunners need luck at certain points in the game, as certain starting configurations are near impossible, and it's impossible to pull off certain stats consistently)
- inconsistent behavior of enemies (at times it's possible to shoot weapons next to them and have them not notice it)
- cutscenes that can't be skipped (especially ones before boss fights)
- no way to restart the current floor without dying
- stealth level (a really big mistake that's not fun at all, just like hotline miami 2)
- certain levels are so big they require guessing what's happening on the opposite site of the map
- masks aren't unlocked by default (I didn't like having to unlock Tony again)
Inconsistency and RNG are possibly the most frustrating aspect of this game, as they shift difficulty of the game towards luck, which should not be involved here at all.
The GNU/Linux port seems to work well, although only a 32-bit binary is available, so mutilib is required, and it depends on obscure libraries such as nvidia-cg-toolkit, which required searching for by names, as it's not possible to simply guess their package names.
