This is the way to play the game. If I were this character, exploring a spooky dungeon with no idea why I'm there, armed with a torch and chair leg to defend myself, I would definitely not be acting like Rambo and go around attacking everything I see, doing things with no cautious mind.I only really enjoy and am good when I totally immerse myself in the game, playing as if it was me
In a game like Exanima there is no shame in skipping enemies, hiding, or straight up running away in the middle of a fight and slamming a door behind you. You need to use the amount of control you have over the game to your advantage, rather than just playing it. See 2 enemies in a room while you're at half health? Lead them to an empty room and lock them inside. Fighting an enemy in a hallway? Lead him to an open room and fight him in there. Don't just play the hand that the game gives you, do anything you can do put yourself at an advantage. And more often than not, this means running, hiding, or skipping enemies.
Also people need to understand that this game is different. If you want to complete the campaign in it's entirety, set aside a couple hours to do so. If you want to play a game where dying serves no punishment at all, play Diablo or something. If you're really so busy that you never have a couple of hours to beat the campaign, then that's why arena exists. It's not the developers fault that you can't accomplish the feat that is beating Exanima's campaign.
