I love EYE, and I know from steamspy that tons of people own it...

That's less than 20k people

I got to the first shootout

It sucks

That's not a very good benchmark. I've got 30 hours in the game and beat it, and I never learned that spell.

I played EYE and beat it, but it is very hard, I feel like peek a boo shooting is the only way to play, a lot one shot kill enemies

lol what a faggot

The game is balanced around wearing heavy armor and having heavy cranial upgrades to resist the random headshot kills.

Anything outside of that is considered challenge mode-tier, especially on Ghost+Invasion.

...

Does the game get better the farther you go along? I never get very far because I always find myself incredibly bored because the game feels so slow.

You really have to make your own fun, it's built around deciding how you want to play it, most maps are big playgrounds.

There are three you'll learn depending on the ending you take. I figured Triangular Gate would be the most common since that's what you get for siding with Mentor
