    I enjoyed everything up to Gonarch’s lair.

    Suddenly, you have this huge unkillable bullet sponge attacking you with everything from scenery, acid spit, swarms of baby spiders, constantly charging at you.

    You’re supposed to double jump to avoid her, which you can’t because of all the debris, while pumping dozens of rockets into her.

    It was completely unlike the Gonarch in the original game, which was more balanced with the overall difficulty setting.

    It broke what was until that point, an incredibly fun game.

      Forreal, especially because they don’t telegraph that she’s unkillable at certain points. You don’t find out until AFTER you’ve wasted all your ammo, but up until then your shots are still visually appearing to do damage and she still whimpers. Really dumb design.

        It hurts more because I bought the game before Xen was ready and waited a long time to enjoy the last chapter.

        I’ve never finished it.

          If you can slog through the gonarch, I’d recommend it. There’s a sequence near the end where you start vaporizing everything with unlimited gluon gun ammo; it’s one of my favorite parts of the game.
