It will drain your soul in a very different way. I litteraly sat on my floor and thought about life for a bit after beating it.

As someone that has beaten the prologue on hard, DO NOT PLAY THE PROLOGUE ON HARD.

It's doable and I enjoyed the challenge for my 2nd playthrough, but dear lord is it difficult.

Also fun:

The english VA of a character we will meet next update regularly streams this game and has been reading all the minor voice lines he didn't get to do in character as well as a lot of the text logs. It's quite nice.

I've been practicing some of the more crazy combo stuff recently and the amount if weapon switching and other crazyness required to pull them off or skip areas of the game for speedrun purposes is kinda amazing.

Every time I come back to this game I find something new that I've missed.

On hard mode you can take 1 buzzsaw to the face if you have full HP. Again, don't play the prologue on hard, at least not on your first try. The next section can be even worse still on hard.

Oh jeez, I had no clue you could play around with the self-destruct and vibration options like that

You can also mess with the voice volume by turning it up, then down all the way, then telling him it's good.

On a good RNG day the Iron pipe is one of the best 1 handed weapon in the game due to its high max dmg and critical +. Stack some critical chips on yourself and cackle madly as red numbers explode off machines. The other critical + one handed sword does similar work but has a lower max cap, but a higher low end to the dmg so it works better early on.

But honestly, I just use the iron pipe because it brings back memories.

Easiest way of handling snakes with stuff you can actually do at this point in the game is to just go near them, perfect dodge and countershoot with your pod.

At this point in the game this will likely one shot them.

He only managed to backup 2B, he was restored from a pre-mission backup. Which still leaves the 'Why didn't they just restore the deserter from a pre-mission backup as well?' question open.

They might have. She might be miles away doing another mission not remembering that she ever planned to desert.

Id plays the EMP orbs kinda conservatively. Honestly you can get right up on them and murder away with slashes as they'll take out the balls exiting them. You don't have to worry till it starts throwing lasers and even then you can usually melt them with constant fire and stabbing before they hit ya.
