Comments
Just catching up on this now… heavily disagree with Brad re: Lorelei and the Laser Eyes UI. Making you only use one button for everything means backing out of menu screens is annoying since you need to go up to the X first. Same with backing out of puzzles. You need to “fail” it to back out if you aren’t ready to commit to an attempt.
